We develop primarily on Red Hat Linux and IRIX, so you should have no problems running it on one of those operating systems. FAM also runs on most GNU/Linux and BSD distributions, and should be fairly easy to port to other Unix-like operating systems as FAM uses GNU autotools. The next major release of FAM (FAM 2.7.0) will feature a feature-based configure script rather than an operating-system based script. It is hoped that this will make it even easier to build FAM on other platforms. If you manage to build FAM on another operating system, please let us know.
