It compiles and builds on Fedora 12-16, and Ubuntu 9.04 to 11.10, and 
many other Linux variants.  But the
  *build-gnuradio* script only deals with Fedora and Ubuntu, because:

   o The biggest swath of Linux-using population for Gnu Radio uses 
Fedora and Ubuntu--biggest bang for the buck
   o The author of that script (me) happens to be a user of Fedora 
(primarily) and Ubuntu (secondarily), so
      had familiarity with the "build recipes" for those two distributions.

I've always said that I invite patches that give a matching "recipe" (as 
embodied in the shell script) for other
  Linux distributions.  I'm not any kind of Fedora/Ubuntu purist 
fanboy.  That's just what I happen to have been
  familiar with when I wrote build-gnuradio.

And you don't *have* to use build-gnuradio.  There are "recipes" for a 
number of Linux distributions up on the
  website for those who want to go the manual route (and testing and 
inevitable tweaking of those recipes
  when they're incorrect or out-of-date).  I can't maintain those 
recipes myself--Fedora and Ubuntu are enough
  work by themselves.
