You're using the wrong Linux distro; selinux is built into the kernel.
[root at numbat ~]# grep SELINUX /boot/config-2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 | head -1
CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y
[root at numbat ~]#

If you want prebuilt binaries I suggest Debian. Note that Debian's 
moving to apparmour, but I don't know what its implications are.
