1. probably works but I haven't set up java which is needed as configure
looks for java clases...
2. here's the output from ldd
mira:/tmp/rxtx-bins.1/1.5/i386-pc-linux> ldd *
libParallel-1.5.8.so:
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40010000)

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

So I guess they work - all depends are satisfied for binary
distro....
FYI: There is really no difference b/w RedHat and Debian when it comes
to software compatability. At least for i386 arch as RedHat only
seems to support Intel..

Have you tried it?? :)
