On Debian sarge and up you can do a fresh OS install and then simply type:

apt-get install request-tracker3

apt will get all of the depends for you.  After that cd to 
/usr/share/doc/request-tracker3 and follow the directions.  Had it up 
and running in about 2 hours from empty hard drive to fully setup.
