Double check - I suspect you have both the 64 and 32 bit RPM's installed.
RedHat is stupid like that; most of the time that is the wrong choice to install
both. It is an extremely rare situation where you need to force the 32bit
package to be used and it often confuses configure scripts.

If you uninstall the 32-bit package (which is almost 100% guaranteed to be
unused by anything), then you should be able to build with the system libraries
(always a Good Idea(TM) on RPM-based distros)...
