You don't say what version of freeipa you are using but we fixed a 
similar sounding problem earlier this spring. Try adding --force to the 
command-line as an outside chance of working.

Building 2.1.3 from source is going to require the same set of 
dependencies as building from the src.rpm. Note though that upstream 
development of freeipa is done in Fedora, not RHEL.
