First, calling the thread ‘‘Urgent!’’ instead of, say, ‘‘./configure fails’’ is counterproductive. First glance at your topic title doesn't help anyone quickly decide if 1) the topic is interesting and 2) does he know enough in the area to help. Surely if someone supposes that neither is true, the topic is not read.

Second, if the command tells you to see config.log, you would better paste last few hundreds lines from config.log in
Code:

[ code ] [ /code ]
tags or upload entire file and link here.

Third, RH9 is very old. So you should think if you really want that, and not a fresher Fedora or CentOS. Even if you defeat that problem, in the end you may end up with failed dependencies anytime.

Fourth, it is typical error when you miss some package. You should have at least glibc-devel, gcc and binutils installed. That is what comes to my mind first, probably there are more requirements. config.log may contain (somewhere like 100 lines up from the bottom) information about which command was not found. Look at it.
