Hi, Sorry you're having trouble installing Review Board. Like any Linux application or web service, the install experience can be easy or hard depending on which distribution you're trying to install it on.
FC4 is quite old, which is why you're hitting these issues. It doesn't surprise me that its dependencies aren't available. I don't understand what you were seeing with FC9, so I can't help there until I know more. If you could show me the errors you're seeing for compiles, I may be able to offer some advice. It looks to me that your version of SVN is just too old for pysvn. This goes back to FC4 being too old. I think you'll need a more recent distribution. If you're in complete control of which distribution to install, I know for sure that the install is easy on Ubuntu, and would recommend that for the best experience.
