Its pretty simple to get Squid up under CentOS from source.
I'd suggest upgrading to Squid-2.6 - it has basic WCCPv2 support.

http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/ is a good reference, and
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/ has a bunch of WCCPv2
examples.

Compiling it is pretty simple:

# tar zxvf squid-src.tar.gz
# cd squid
# ulimit -n 32768
# ./configure --prefix="/usr/local/squid" --enable-storeio="ufs aufs null coss" --with-large-files --enable-large-cache-files --enable-snmp --enable-linux-netfilter ...
# make
# make install

Squid's now in /usr/local/squid; dump an etc file into /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf;
read the Squid-2.6 release notes for how to implement transparent proxying (its changed
from squid-2.5 to squid-2.6) and read the WCCPv2 examples.

HTH,

Adrian
