I have no idea if the binaries you downloaded are compatible with your 
operating system (and probably you have something wrong with your ICU 
installation) ...  I woudl suggest that you remove them and instead install the 
official RedHat packages (to build software you need the developer package, not 
just the runtime package) for ICU.
Alternatively, downloading the ICU source and building/installing it should 
work, but it's much more error-prone than using the standard operating system 
packages.

Well, I'm running a CentOS-6x64 system (same as RedHat) with no trouble, so I'm 
fairly sure the standard system packages are OK.
