Use the blt RPM supplied with Red Hat 6.0 (i.e. on the CD-ROM or the
Red Hat ftpsite).  The blt2.4j in needed-software is only required if
you need to build blt from source on architectures that don't already
have packages (Debian, Red Hat all have binary packages for BLT, so
you don't need to compile it from source).

I have included more detailed instructions in the README.i386 in that
directory:
