I am trying to setup a Drupal e-commerce solution with a payment gateway of accepting Bitcoins during checkout, but I need a bitcoin daemon installed. How do I go about installing the Bitcoin daemon in my CentOS installation?
Is there a step-by-step guide on what I need to type to install this? It would be great if it can be installed via a package manager in CentOS. apt-get doesn't seem to work for me.

I host two bitcoind RPMs (i686, x86_64) on my website which will most likely work fine for you, as they're built for CentOS 6.4. Run this command to install bitcoind :
rpm -ivh http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.`uname -m`.rpm
If you want to download them manually, the files are:
i686: http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.i686.rpm
MD5: 5be52618594a3eaded19052197c2f6ed
x86_64: http://tvdw.eu/bitcoin-0.8.1-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
MD5: 49ba4acbf9744e96bf12342888bc347a
The packages are unsigned, so install these at your own risk (aka: some level of trust is required here).
[Edit] This is the bitcoin.spec file I use to build these packages :
Name: bitcoin
Version: 0.8.1
Release: 1%{?dist}
Summary: bitcoin
License: GPL
URL: http://bitcoin.org
Source0: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-%{version}/bitcoin-%{version}-linux.tar.gz

There's no actual compilation involved, it just puts the files in the right locations and wraps it in a nice little RPM.
2there is no way to install the same ones from the main bitcoin site? Yes a level of trust is indeed needed. but for the sake of the paranoid user, how can one do it themselves. – Patoshi パトシ – 2013-05-02T19:35:58.707
@duckx I updated my answer with the bitcoin.spec file I use to build the packages. – Tom van der Woerdt – 2013-05-02T20:10:42.630

You can also try this setup, by another fellow StackExchange member.
Or you might want to take the easier route and use a Bitcoin Payment Gateway.
You'll want to find a
yumrepository that hasbitcoindin it, as CentOS uses YUM and not APT. – Colin Dean – 2013-05-01T18:52:56.553If you would like to build from source: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/30106/19021
