[Trac] Trac 0.9 on RHEL 3

[Tim Alsop]

I installed Trac 0.9 recently on rhel3 and had no problems with the
install/upgrade until I tried to get subversion to interface with Trac.
For Trac 0.9 I used python-2.4, but with Trac 0.8.4 I was using
python2.2. 
 
The subversion python bindings rpm I had installed (from
summersoft.fay.ar.us site) was assuming python 2.2, but I was using
python 2.4 for Trac 0.9. To fix this issue I had to copy some files from
the /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages to same directory in
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages. Not the clean approach, but it worked,
so I am happy :-)
 
I also found that the latest subversion-python rpm was assuming that
python2.2 was used, so I had same problem when I upgraded to svn 1.2.3
recently. Now all is working.
 
Good luck,
 
Tim.

Based on my experience installing on RHEL 3:
 * Used Python 2.3.5 and mod_python 0.9.1.3. No packages available for
RHEL 3, so had to compile both from source. (Let me know if you do find
any). Compile Python first, then compile mod_python against the freshly
installed version of Python 2.3.5. To insure egg support when compiling
Python, edit the file Modules/Setup to uncomment the zlib module.
 * I used Sqlite 2.8.15-1.1 from an RPM, and compiled PySqlite 1.0.1
from source.
 * The clearsilver 0.9.13-1.1 rpm for RHEL 3 worked fine for me.
 * If you want plugin support via Python Eggs, you'll also need to
install SetupTools, and your Python must be compiled with Zlib support
as explained above.
 * You can get Subversion from the DAG RPM repository -
http://dag.wieers.com/apt/ - or from here
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/rhel-3/bin/
 * I had trouble with the Apache 2.0.50-1 build rpm's version of
libaprutil conflicting with Subversion, so you may run into that too if
you're using the same build of Apache. I fixed it by using the slightly
newer libaprutil rpms from
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/redhat-9.0/bin/
(apr-util*.rpm)  (FYI - the root problem was that the Apache build of
libaprutil didn't link to libgdbm.so.2. If svn commands fail for you,
one way to test if that's your problem is to prefix your svn command
with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 svn -- if it works, then you have
the problem).

	I'm currently running Trac 0.8.4 on RHEL 3, and everything works
great.
	Now I'm looking forward to the 0.9 release.
	
	I noticed in the 0.9b1 ChangeLog that python 2.3 is now
required.
	Anyone out there have any experience with upgrading python on
RHEL 3? 
	What would be a path that breaks as little other stuff as
possible?
	Will there be any issues with the python bindings for
clearsilver,
	sqlite and subversion?
	
	Thanks!
