[Trac] Trying to install Trac on Centos 4.1 x86_64

[Giulio Cesare Solaroli]

Hi everybody,

I have just joined this mailing list because I am having some problems
in installing Trac on my new development machine (Sun Ultra20 running
Centos 4.1/x86_64)

I have tried to search on the list archive, but I have not been able
to find anything relevant to my problem. I am not sure of what is
causing the problem, so I may have looked at it the wrong way.

I have followed many different paths till now (trying to clean the
outcome of every test as completely as possible, in order not to alter
the following ones), from searching for RPMs to compiling straight
from the sources.

Untill now, I have achieved the best outcome using the following RMPs:
- clearsilver-0.9.13-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
- python-clearsilver-0.9.13-1.2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
- trac-0.8.4-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm

The first two RPMs are for i386, instead of x86_64, but I have not
been able to find anything better.

After doing all the preliminary configurations, trying to access the
starting url (http://ultra/cgi-bin/trac.cgi), I get the following
message:

The required file is (obviously) in the right place:

>[root at ultra ~]# ls -al /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/
>total 840
>drwxr-xr-x  11 root root   4096 Oct  2 04:00 .

What could be wrong, given the above error, in my setup?
Any insight on how to move forward would be welcome.

Thank for you attention.

Best regards,
