Mark inspired me, so I fetched the source to OOREXX and built it.
No problem. It seemed to build a little cleaner on my FreeBSD rental
than on my SuSE (mix) ... subjectively. (Got less warnings from the
compiler.) It's heavily C++ based, so will have an affinity for the
build environment (will be less portable to other releases or distros).
I found the source on SourceForge. Regina is also available there.
I have not yet tried this on mainframe Linux,
but would expect it to build and run just as well there.
Now ... I use a funky scheme for third party apps. It's less intrusive
and follows one of Melinda's rules: don't comingle the 3rd party stuff
with what the vendor (or distributor) ships as part of the op sys.
So I built OOREXX to install into and run from /usr/opt/oorexx-3.1.1.
The wrapper makefile (sits above the supplied source) is at
http://www.casita.net/pub/oorexx/oorexx-3.1.1.mak
A similar wrapper makefile for Regina is at
http://www.casita.net/pub/regina/regina-3.3.mak
Copy either of these as "makefile" to a $APPLID-$VERSION directory,
along with a script called 'setup' and your downloaded source in "arc"
and they should build the package for whatever platform you're on.
If these are of value, enjoy!

Merry Christmas!
