So the biggest issues I have seen is that you are trying to get the
latest D-Bus builds working on RHEL 4 which will cause a lot of
headache.  I suggest upgrading to RHEL 5 which will correctly setup a
1.0 version of D-Bus in which you will not have to compile it yourself.
If you need to target RHEL 4, in which D-Bus is not supported for
anything but a few system services, you will need to program to the old
0.2x API which is radically different from the final supported APIs.
There is no way you can reliably deploy a D-Bus 1.0 application on a
RHEL 4 box.
