The EPEL project offers RPM packages not available in the official repos.
Check for the latest version and architecture first (this noarch package works for 32/64 bit):
rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
Disable the repository unless specifically enabled:
vim /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo enabled=0
