Obstructions to Einstein metrics in high dimensions

It is well known that there exists three and four manifolds that do not admit an Einstein metric, but I wonder if this question is still open for manifolds of dimension higher than four. That is, does anyone know of a compact n-manifold, $n>4$, that does not admit an Einstein metric?
