Fred, Sorry you haven't had much success - I think the path I have led you along is going to get a little hairy, but lets give it a go.
Please find attached a file containing depmod and py-compile which I am guessing are part of automake 1.5. If you just put these in the dia directory they should allow dia to compile; or download automake 1.5.. Note that you'll also need to look at the other message RE: Crash when opening file which I sent to the list today. As for unicode, just ensure you have linunicode and libunicode-devel installed (they come on the RedHat installation CDs). You may also need libxml-1.8.5 from ftp://xmlsoft.org/ if you don't already have it - just down load the rpm ( I had to force the install :-( By the way, given that this is not a stable release we don't recommend installing it - just run app/run_dia.sh Let me know if you have any problems getting this to work.
