You should avoid compiling software yourself, because that beats the
whole idea of having a) a distribution that has ready-to-use software
and b) a package management system that makes upgrades possible.

In Fedora
# yum -y install grace

In RHEL, first enable the Fedora EPEL repository with
# rpm -Uvh \
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
and then install grace with
# yum -y install grace

Then you can run grace with $ xmgrace
