Hi Constance, If you aren't registered with RedHat yet, you could try and download the binary from the Apache web site: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi Another alternative if you aren't going to register with RedHat you could try out CentOS instead, it is very very close to RedHat and you'll have access to their yum repositories.
