 > Does tor currently build/run on RHEL 4 or CentOS 5?

 0.2.6.10 builds fine and seems to run fine on CentOS 5. (Sorry, I can't
 test RHEL 4.)

 However, CentOS 5 has openssl 0.9.8e. Tor 0.2.7.2-alpha dropped support
 for OpenSSL older than 1.0.0, so (even if you support the ancient versions
 of autoconf/automake) it won't build on CentOS 5 anyway. Going forward,
 Tor Project can probably stop caring about anything older than CentOS 6.
