That depends... on so many things.

First: are you (or is (s)he) installing some pre-compiled package from
RHEL? (which version of RHEL are we talking about?)

If yes, the RedHat package manager "knows": we'll just have to find out
how to query it.

Otherwise, if some self-compiled version is to be installed, that will
depend on which features are to be compiled in: native TLS support,
image support (then: tiff, png, jpeg and so on), binary xml support
(libxml)... and many more.

To be able to answer your question, we'll have to know more. Start
with:

 - which RedHat?
 - which Emacs?

not very helpful, I know, but it's a start :-)
