Have got that package (redhat-rpm-config-8.0.45-29.el5) but it's not working.
How I can enable that on rhel5.

The %dist macro is defined in /etc/rpm/macros.dist which (in Fedora)
belongs to the fedora-release package. I don't know if you should
install that package on rhel5. But you can define the %dist macro, or
any macro in your ~/.rpmmacros file. just add this line:
%dist el5
or something like that.
