Satish,
Perhaps it would be useful to first read up on RHEL 4 (and Linux in general)
package managers:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/ch-rpm.html
In a link I have provided in a previous email, it contains a list of
packages you should ensure are installed on your system before attempting to
build matplotlib. In this case, you are missing some of the development
libraries for pygtk.
In addition, given the amount of difficulties you are having with installing
matplotlib, you might want to consider Enthought's Python Distribution
(often called EPD) to help make the entire process easier for you.
