I just finished a by hand install on RH8.  The things that took me a 
while to get were:

a) all of the perl depends.  This was a complete mess.  Took me the 
better part of a day to get everything installed an working. 
WWW::Mechanize in particular did not install gracefully and I had to 
hand install it (ignoring the failed make test).

Several of the perl modules from CPAN refused to install and I had to 
fall back to the rpms from RH8.

Getting real RPMS for all of the perl depends would go a LONG way to 
making rt easier to install, faster too.

b) I needed Active Directory support and I wanted apache2 so I went with 
the absolute latest versions of apache and mod_perl.  Everything seems 
kosher but it took some doing.
