I have version tomcat4-4.1.12-full installed and I have never seen the startup.sh script. Im farely new to Tomcat as well but Im pretty sure the only thing the startup.sh script does is invoke the cataline start script which in turn calls the bootstrap.jar file. However I have never cycled tomcat that way Your CATALINA_HOME var should be configured automatically by the rpm(on mine its /var/tomcat4 - which should be the same on yours)and set within your tomcat4.conf file, found under /etc/tomcat4. The RPM should install your major tomcat config files there.
Really the only configuration I had to do was add the JAVA_HOME path to my tomcat4.conf, and then adding tomcat4 to my run levels. Have you tried manually starting the tomcat start script under /etc/init.d? You should have received a message during the install that tells you that you need to add tomcat to the necessary run levels to start upon reboot. As long as you have installed your JDK and ANT you should be good to go. Hopefully that helps, let me know and if you need more help.
