"Trying to compile" means trying to compile from a tarball, I take it. Why not grab a relevant SRPM, if available? Even if you need to update some components with that, you should get a better handle on the needed components to do compilation that way.
I'd look at http://rpm.pbone.net to see if there are relevant RPM's or SRPM's for you.
