Yes, it will[*].  Devel mean development, i.e. things
necessary for compilation of programs but not for running
them.

If you intend to distribute the program to other RHEL4
machines, create a rpm package from it.  It's simple (or
I think it is, YMMV) and among other advantages most of
its run-time dependencies on other packages will be
determined correctly automatically (in the typical case).
