Whet distro are you on? I see debian, redhat and mandrake all have this program as a binary. Or are you just doing this for the learning process? I know you wanted to get into installing from sources.
If thats the case, then it seems to me that you have untarred the file, you now have a subdirectory called rdesktop-1.1.0 immediatley below the directory where you placed the source file (eg if you downloaded it to /home/kevin/ you now have a dir called /home/kevin/rdesktop-1.1.0 cd to that directory and you will see that there are a whole lot of source files, including a Makefile, also a subdirectory named crypto. Simply type make now. It should build the program. then just run it.
