The one on the 7.1 cd is 1.04. There is a 1.06 package in the updates,
though. You can get it here:

Marty, I've compiled and installed 1.06 on RedHat 7.1 and it works fine.
It does look like you're missing some development packages. I think that
you'll need gcc, make, autoconf, and automake, at least. If you do want
to compile it yourself, try installing them and see where you get. You'll
want them for building a lot of other software, too, if you expect to be
compiling much.
