Yeah RHEL 3 spec has missing buildreq's, you probably want
beecrypt-devel, gettext-devel and readline-devel amongst others, the
failure output would be useful so I can confirm.  Ensure you've
installed the Development Tools group (IIRC up2date can group install
but I forget what version that went int).
