There are some also ancient redhat machines here at Northwestern: Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 9)
and I don't think that it is possible to build a recent drracket on them with the current source code (I believe it is possible to change the GUI layer so that it is crippled, but in a way that would still build drracket and let you run it perhaps with uglier fonts and things). You might also try with something pre-5.1. You should have a better shot of that working out of the box. You may need your sysadmins to help you get some library upgrades done, tho. The thing to look at is the configure output. If you and they can't interpret it, someone else here might be able to help, tho (but probably not me, sadly).
