We've managed to work around some bugs, though by no means all of them. For instance, TTSynth will run on Ubuntu now, where not so long ago it didn't. However, you'll still need libstdc++ compatibility, which your apt should happily install for you when you install TTSynth. Ditto for Fedora rpms. Headers are available separately.
