The AG FC3 RPMs from here:
  http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/fedora/3/
should work fine with RHEL 4 (except for wxMozilla, required only if you 
want to have the SharedBrowser working), any missing depedencies can be 
found in Fedora Extras 3:
  http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/3/

The FC3 wxMozilla RPM doesn't work with RHEL 4 update 4 because seamonkey 
has replaced the mozilla RPM. You could rebuild wxMozilla on RHEL4 by 
downloading and rebuilding the FC5 wxMozilla SRPM which builds against 
seamonkey, 
http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/accessgrid3/fedora/5/SRPMS/wxMozilla-0.5.7-0.1.20061218cvs.fc5.src.rpm , 
e.g:

   rpmbuild --rebuild wxMozilla-0.5.7-0.1.20061218cvs.fc5.src.rpm

The upcoming AGTk 3.1 release won't work with RHEL4, because the 
m2crypto-0.17 dependency requires a newer python and openssl than what ships 
with RHEL4. The soon to be released RHEL5 won't have a problem as it is 
based on FC6.
