Radio Erevan: In principle yes, but in practice no. From the FAQ:
"we promise full support only to Solaris, Linux and FreeBSD"

Same for pkgsrc. (I am a NetBSD person, so pkgsrc was obvious.)
No HPsUX support. You need OS speciffic patches to most GNUware. Without
them you will end in auto(conf|make|header|whatever), libtool and GCCism
hell. Been there, done that, didn't want the tee-shirt. :-(
