Hmmm, most probably you did not install the development packages, bet you
do not have gcc either :-( You will have to install that from the redhat
cdroms (or from planetccrma). I don't really know of the top of my head
which packages you need, I'll try to add a FAQ section with that next
week.

"aclocal" is part of automake, that will be in your redhat cdrom (you can
also do an apt-get install if your network connection is fast.

But for ardour you will need a newer version of automake than the one that
comes with redhat, you can find it at:

http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/redhat/linux/planetedge/7.3/en/os/noarch/autoconf-2.52-7.noarch.rpm

It is not part of the standard planetccrma repository, just download the 
rpm and do an rpm -Uvh.
