Oddly enough, I just got corosync working now on CentOS 6.0. It turns 
out that the sheepdog tutorial points to an old, out of date subversion 
repository. With the help of asalkeld on #linux-cluster, the following 
was the proper build method;

====
yum -y remove corosync corosynclib corosynclib-devel
cd ~
git clone git://github.com/corosync/corosync.git
cd corosync
git checkout -b flatiron origin/flatiron
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-nss
make install
cd ~
====

As for sheepdog itself, it built fine normally. I'm not going to worry 
about building the RPM at this time. :)

Now, to try and make sheepdog work!
