There are no know incompatibilities.  The requirements are stated in 
INSTALL.txt, but they are easily met by any Linux system I have ever seen.

I assume you have glibc-devel, kernel-headers, and gdbm-devel installed 
as well as binutils and gcc?  If not you won't be able to compile 
anything.  Don't laugh, it is possible to install Redhat without these 
basic packages.
