SOCK_CLOEXEC isn't present in kernel 2.6.18, you can't build the nVidia binaries directly on a distro this old.

I'm not sure how Bumblebee uses the proprietary nVidia drivers. You might be able to use the kmod-nvidia packages from ELRepo:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia

If that doesn't work, you need to be running something newer than EL5. Try EL6 or one of the Fedora versions which Bumblebee provides instructions for.

bumblebee is available from ELRepo but EL6 only.
