HOWTO enable trac plugins for 64 bit Operating Systems

Assumptions

• rpm based distribution
• running 64 bit os (x86_64, ia64)

Process

• Breath deep
• We will have to install python 2.4 at least
  • can get from atrpms.net here ​http://atrpms.net/dist/el4/python24
• dependencies follow that need recompiling
  • Python-sqlite ​atrpms.net
  • clearsilver python neo_cgi.so file
    • I did have trouble repacking the clearsilver python package, so I just copied the file.

      # cp /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/clearsilver-0.9.14/python/neo_cgi.so \
           /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/neo_cgi.so
      

  • mod_python src.rpm recompile
  • trac src.rpm recompile
  • subversion needs a recompile too dang it'''

Using a CentOS or RHEL based distribution

I have a repository of rpms I build to get this to work here:

• ​http://capforge.org/rhel4-centos4-tracplugin-repo.

Just recompile the src.rpms from here and you should be good2go. You can try to use the repository I setup. No guarantees! :-)
