Thanks Garrison. That step, plus installing some necessary libraries
did the trick.

I thought anyone else who is completely unfamiliar with Linux/EC2 etc.
may wish to know the steps I took at the command prompt (very basic
stuff.. but took me a while to figure it out as a newbie):

sudo su //puts linux into root
environment mode
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" //installs gcc/g++ and some
other stuff
yum groupinstall "Development Libraries" //installs some libraries you need
easy_install StarCluster //installs StarCluster

job done!

cheers,
adam
