That raises two major questions: how did you install it, and what's 
keeping you from updating from that rather massively outdated version of 
RedHat?

The problem almost certainly is independent of RedHat 3 in particular. 
You didn't follow the README, so you didn't pay attention to what 
./configure printed.   So you missed the warning about lack of X11 
headers and libraries.  You'll have to install the X11 development 
packages.
