It appears to work fine on all Linux distributions. We have reports of
success on at least Caldera OpenLinux, Red Hat, SUSE, Debian, and 
LinuxPPC for the Macintosh. 

Many Linux distributions do not install all the required header files by
default, in particular the X windows headers.  These are often in an
optional package called something like xfree86-dev.  These must be
installed to build R.
