Now we want to add nginx-rtmp module, but inorder to add new module as per the document i need to build it by downloading the tar ball. Does it mean that i have to remove the rpm and install it as per the document.

Unlike Apache, all modules, including the 3rd party modules, are going to be compiled into nginx. So every time you want to add a new module, you have to recompile nginx. So yes, you have to install it as per the document. There is no much value of keeping 2 nginx runtimes on the same server any way. So you may also want to remove the previous nginx.

Here's what fixed it for me (debian stretch/sid, nginx 1.10.2): apt install libnginx-mod-http-auth-pam
ln -s /usr/share/nginx/modules-available/mod-http-auth-pam.conf /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/50-mod-http-auth-pam.conf   The config file contains a single “load_module” directive which tells nginx to dynamically load the module on startup. As (https://stackoverflow.com/users/1019384/jekennedy) jekennedy mentioned, this would only apply to newer versions of nginx that support dynamic module loading.

Yes, you have to uninstall nginx (installed via rpm) and re-install it according to the mentioned document that is from source file. There are some disadvantages of installing nginx using source, like you cannot use nginx as a service.
