If RH didn't build it in, call them and get a rebuilt RPM.  You (well, 
someone) paid them for support, didn't you?  Paying customers shouldn't 
have to work around RH's configure choices--that's what support is for.

I wouldn't use the tar balls under any circumstances.  Costs too much in 
learning curve and maintainability.  At best, if you have to change 
compile options, I'd get the RH SRPMs and build from those.
