That was my reference installation when writing the command line tool (on
Jaunty/RHE 5.3).

Hadn't tried the Ubuntu package...

On the upside, the Muscle3.7 package installed from Ubuntu passes our tests,
whereas the source compiles but core-dumps. Similarly, ProbCons1.2 won't
compile but the Ubuntu package looks good (havent written the tests yet).

Built from source on Jaunty; it passes our tests.
