FYI... Update.

Appears finally got Ted installed on server with CentOS 5.5 final.
Had to compile the program from source code.

First grabbed the package like this:
wget http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/pub/editors/ted/ted-2.21.src.tar.gz

And next had to install the following RPM packages using yum install:
yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake libXpm-devel pcre-devel 
zlib-devel ImageMagick libtiff-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-devel gtk+ 
gtk+-devel gtk2-devel

Then had to modify the file named Makefile in the Ted source folder by 
adding the following near the top of the file:
GTK_INCLUDE = -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0
CONFIGURE_OPTIONS=--with-GTK

Finally had to make an alias to a file in /lib using the following:
ln -s /lib/libpcre.so.0 /lib/libpcre.so.3

And once did all of that, then could install ted by typing:
make
make package
make install

Now Ted is installed and seems to be working and going to attempt to 
convert some RTF files to pdf now.
