I just finished installing it on my Redhat 6.0 system this weekend. It is a lengthy process. (In time, not in complexity) and I pretty much followed this helpfull web site to the letter. (There is a small error in the way they indicate how to do the doc workaround, but it is pretty easy to figure out)
