any unix platform should be relatively straightforward to get trac
working on, best of course are those with packages for svn, svn-python,
sqllite, pysqllite (like debian or gentoo ;-). but a source compile can
get it going even in the lack of such packages.

where did you run into difficulties?

After many hours I got it installed on a SuSE 8.2, and it runs nicely
now. Where are your problems, maybe I can help?

I don't know if this validates as "platform" here (so don't hurt me ;-),
but I got trac installed in no time on Windows XP.

Installing Trac may be tricky.
I installed 0.7.1 on a Debian Sarge box, and it runs fine.

The trouble comes from the assertions Trac made about how directories
should be organized.
If you try to integrate it into an existing web environment and fit your
own direcory structure, you may have some hard times 8')
The installation is not flexible enough to map a custom directory setup,
even if it allows some variations.

Therefore, I suggest you do not change default directories for a first try.
