It would be interesting to know how you got hold of it.
I thought that the research-version has long-since been
discontinued and removed from the web. Even the letter from
MJR on the removal has been removed now, I think ;-)

I have one copy sitting on a hard-drive somewhere, but haven't
tried to compile it for ages...


Anyway and regardless:
NFR is (TTBOMK) _not_ supposed to compile under any
Linux. 
This has been stated in the docs, on mailing-lists, by NFR-staff
and and others.
Believe it ;-)

Back when it was available, I compiled it under FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE
with no errors - it was cool, even in its limitedness.
