Dear Ganesh, First, you need gcc 2.95.3. Get it from the gcc web page, install it, and make sure that 2.95.3 is the one being called (try "which gcc" and "gcc -v"). gcc 3.0 may also work, but 2.96 which comes with redhat definitely does not.
Then you need to follow the instructions in the installation.txt file in the main rtlinux directory. Get a fresh 2.4.4 kernel from ftp.kernel.org, patch it, and build it. The hardest part is configuring the kernel. Use make xconfig for a nicer graphical interface, and try and find the configuration file for your current Redhat 7.2 version. Load in that file as the starting config, and then change only the things you have to change. It took me a long time (days) to come up with a config that i was really happy with, but you can probably come up with one that works in a couple of hours. The installation.txt file is missing a key step: you MUST type make deps after make xconfig and before make bzImage. Similarly, you MUST type make deps after make xconfig when making rtlinux. Everything else should work as described in the installation.txt file. good luck!
