The rt tarball doesn't unpack into an rt/ directory, it unpacks into
rt-4.0.13 (or whatever the version is).  Also, it doesn't run from the
untarred tarball.

You can see this by looking at ls /var/www
Also, don't run configure from outside the RT tarball directory.

Untar it in your home directory, find the correct directory and start
from there.
