Did you start the KOffice apps from a terminal window? If an application 
can't be launched by any reason, there normally won't be a message box 
reporting an error. Instead, the error messages will probably go to the 
terminal.

Are you using KDE 1 or KDE  2. Koffice needs KDE 2. You can find it out by 
entering a KDE application of your choice and clicking Help->About KDE. If a 
Window with a nice little Dragon appears you're using KDE2 and everthing is 
fine there. If you're using KDE 1, make sure to have at least kdelibs, 
kdebase and kdesupport for kde2 installed (I don't have Redhat, but I guess 
these packages are also on CD 2).
