Redhat 7.2 was about 6 months out of date at release time. 7.1 is
positively ancient. GAL changes on a monthly basis. I guess once
evolution hits 1.0 GAL will be stable. You'll need ximian gnome to get
those libraries.
You'll also need abiword-fonts rpm from the download site though.
The plain gtk version of 0.9.5 should work with the fonts rpm though.
Good Luck,
Martin
