RT is, admittedly, a touch cranky if you're not using it's stated
prereq's... though I didn't have *all that* much trouble getting it
running under Pg 7.4 and ModPerl 1.99rc4, though neither of those is
really recommended all that strongly.

But if you think *RT* is bad, go install WebGUI 5.5.4.  On PostGres.  I
dare you.  :-)
