I installed svn 1.3.2, swig 1.3.28, clearsilver 0.10.3, sqlite 3.3.6, pysqlite 2.0.7 (had problems with 2.3.2) from source. This should be enough for a regular Trac install from source.  It worked for me.

Then I wanted to install the vc-refactoring branch of trac from source.  The install went well, but Trac didn't want to recognize the Trac mercurial plugin which I had installed.  Trac simply complained hg is not a supported version control backend with no indication of why. The funny thing was that the exact same trac install worked flawlessly on my laptop (Ubuntu 6.06), the server is RHEL 4.3 x86_64.

After a long journey I found that Trac only ever loads additional extensions if Python setuptools are present.  If they are not, then it silently goes on and doesn't tell you why :-(((

Finding setuptools for x86_64 turned out to be difficult.  Most posts say for setuptools on x86_64 you need at least Python 2.4.  RHEL comes with 2.3 :-)) I did get an error with setuptools 0.6b3 installed from source, don't recall exactly what the error was.

I found a working rpm with setuptools for RHEL only the other day, at http://install.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/yum/CLS/CLSTools.EL4/repodata/repoview/python-setuptools-0-0.6a10-1.html . The pointer was at http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnRhel4 at the very end of the page.  There's also http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnRedhat as I learned.

Apparently the rpmforge repository referenced at http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnRhel4 (you'd replace the yum entry " http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnRhel4" by "yum rpmforge http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/x86_64/dag" for x86_64) even contains prebuilt rpms for RHEL.  I didn't try those because I needed the vc-refactoring branch, but maybe they are right for you.
