Personally I would recommend ditching the RPM and the RHEL-specific 
installation and doing a manual installation. There a number of reasons 
why this would be preferable, least of all that your RT directory 
structure will remain separate from the rest of your OS and make life 
that much more simple for you.

Aside from that, Red Hat packaged software is asking for trouble as they 
seem to like to change the defaults that developers have worked on 
carefully to whatever they think they should be.

It is for this reason, for example, that you should be careful if you 
upgrade your Perl installation via RPM because the Red Hat defaults 
cause RT to break in attempting to use Scalar::Util.
