Verify your RHEL version

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)

Build and Install (Not working)

You can grab the latest release from http://sourceforge.net/projects/poptop/files/pptpd/

#Before doing this, make sure you installed Development Tools
yum group install "Development Tools"
yum install ppp ppp-devel
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/poptop/pptpd/pptpd-1.4.0/pptpd-1.4.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf pptpd-1.4.0.tar.gz
cd pptpd-1.4.0
./configure
make && make install

For some reason, this doesn't install pptpd.conf. I need to find alternatives.

Install From Repo

rpm -Uvh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/x86_64/e/epel-release-7-5.noarch.rpm
yum install pptpd
