I see in the MonetDB.spec file this statement:

* Wed Jul 13 2011 Sjoerd Mullender <sjoerd@acm.org> - 11.3.5-20110720
- buildtools: We can now build RPMs on CentOS 6.0.  Since there is no geos library
  on CentOS, we do not support the geom modules there.

Does that mean that this won't work in CentOS 6.2?

On my build server, I had installed these:
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/elgis.argeo.org/repos/testing/6/elgis/x86_64/geos-devel-3.3.8-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/elgis.argeo.org/repos/testing/6/elgis/x86_64/geos-3.3.8-2.el6.x86_64.rpm
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/cfitsio-3.240-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/cfitsio-devel-3.240-3.el6.x86_64.rpm

You need to have the geos-devel package installed before starting the
build.  Take a look in the MonetDB.spec file and install everything that
is mentioned in BuildRequires lines.

And then, of course, you need to install the MonetDB-geom-MonetDB5 rpm.
