You said that you are working with a Red Hat server didn't you? Have you checked the system and RPM database to ensure that you don't have all or part of some other ht://Dig install lurking about on the system? The ht://Dig RPMs produced by Red Hat are notoriously troublesome and could certainly result in some strange problems if present. Also, a standard install from source with correct configuration and sufficient privileges should not result in you needing to add symbolic links or immediately add configuration settings. Something doesn't seem quite right here.
