There will be a readme with the source. There's also a general guide to compiling from source here. However, since you're using Red Hat 9 you may have some packages that need upgrading to newer versions.

It doesn't look like it, read this. Red Hat 9 is no longer supported by Red Hat and as such, you can't get updates from them any more...
