I can't offer any specific reason why your stuff is failing below, but
I've been able to get Trac running in XP, XP SP1, XP SP2, SuSE 9.1, SuSE
9.2, and SLES 9.0.

I assume the above is a typo, and it's actually 2.0.52.

Make sure you have the Subversion Python bindings installed in whatever
distribution you choose.  If you're building from source, you need to
make sure that you have SWIG installed (use version 1.3.21).  SuSE 9.2
comes with the correct one by default.  You can just run 'make swig-py'
and 'make install-swig-py' from the command line build and install them.

>>SQLite 3.0.8
Nope, this version of SQLite won't work with Trac.  Check out the
following wiki page.  It does a great job of getting you up and running.

>>PySQLite 1.1.6

Again, this isn't going to work.  Look at the above wiki page.

>>Trac 0.8
>>Docutils 0.3.7
>>ClearSilver 0.9.12

I'm assuming that the problems you're seeing are a result of having the
wrong version of the third party libraries installed.  I'd fix that
first.  If you're still having problems, then perhaps we can work out a
time when we're both online, and I can walk you through the steps.  The
above wiki page is very good.  All I did was follow the steps, and I had
a working version of Trac. :-)
