There are no particular issues assuming you use the "linux"
architecture and our distribution. The various debian packages *do*
have known problems with compiling locally and/or running at all and
appear to have since been abandoned by the package maintainer. 64-bit
systems still aren't supported but other wise proceed with a normal
installation using the LNUX architecture and you should be fine.
