Should work fine.

Maybe. Without seeing the build output probably nobody can tell you. You
should get a clean build or all bets are off.

If you have a broken build or prereq pieces missing that won't help. The
info you posted now should have been posted in the first thread along with
a config and messages. simh is very well written and builds and runs on a
lot of problematic platforms. There is no reason it shouldn't build cleanly
and work fine on Intel Linux.

Solve the first problem first and the rest may just go away.
