As root, in a terminal window, try
yum install samba-swat
yum should try to resolve any dependency issues. The problem may be
that the needed packages might not be available in the repositories (in
your /etc/yum.conf file).
Once installed, you will have to add a line
swat 901/tcp
to your /etc/services file. Next, start
system-config-services
from a terminal window and check the box for swat. Load your favorite
browser and go to
http://localhost:901
(assuming hostname is localhost).
