I think that you will need to edit _1_ file on CentOS so that Oracle
thinks you are on RHEL.  /etc/redhat-release should read:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)

rather than

CentOS release 4.4 (Final)

Last time I installed Oracle, that was the only change I made that I can
remember.
