You need to install the RPC for XWindows developers.  On older RedHat
systems that was bundled but the newer ones require a separate RPC
selection.  There may all be separate selections for ncurses-devel (or
some such apelling) and even others.

They are assuming that RedHat users do not develop or even compile and
link software anymore.
