It says all you need to know right there...you don't have a C compiler 
installed.  Seems like you just want the binary anyway...so no need to 
mess with /configure and friends.

rdesktop 1.4 is available in binary (rpm) form for FC5:

#yum install rdesktop

And if you do really want the source, and not the binary built from that 
source, it's available too.  Check your favorite mirror's 'source' 
directory, it will have the srpms.
