The cause of the failure is this line of the output:

sh: intltool-merge: command not found

without that command (intltool-merge), the .desktop file cannot be constructed by setup.py. I'm not sure offhand which package that is in in RHEL, but it should be available.

Thanks for the update Chris. I installed intltool and that did the trick. Thanks again!!
