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.

what program are you trying to install, and you may find it easier
to install a binary package for your distro (if there is one).
