TeXLive *does* have latex. Just install texlive-latex.
Ok, I confirm is related to the texlive version in RHEL 7. I reworked all the BuildRequires in the SPEC file with the "new" texlive syntax (i.e. tex(xcolor.sty)) but the RHEL 7 packages do not contain all the required files; I'm missing tex(keyva.sty).
