    You need to find the RPM for your version of Red Hat. If you can't find one, you can compile a package from source.

    Check this HowTo for installing software under Linux.

    What program is it?

    And is it Redhat 4 or RHEL 4?

    If it's not programmed for another processor, it probably won't work on RHEL.
