Arvin, It would make your life much easier (and your linux server more maintanable) if you installed and used a postfix RPM rather then doing it from scratch.
http://www.WL0.org:8080/~sjmudd/postfix/en/available-packages/ .. has links to postfix RPMS pre-built for RedHat. If you are really interested to see how postfix is built under redhat, download the SOURCE rpm, unpack it with rpm -i, go to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS and view the postfix.spec file, which contains the commands to build postfix.
