Hi Philippe,
An official LAM port to Linux is not available yet.  A user (don't know
if he wants his name broadcast) got LAM running on his Linux PC with a
few modifications.  We'll get the full list of changes, integrate them
back into LAM sometime in the future, and have an official Linux release.
I'm not giving any time frame.  If you're in hurry, I can put you in touch
with that user (if he's not too busy), or you can help us and do the
following, letting us know what problems you run into (that would be a
second data point for us, and would help factor out dependencies on a
specific installation):

- cd Config
- cp config.sco config.linux
- rm config
- ln -s config.linux config
- Edit 'config' and set HOME and maybe some of the tools variables at the
  end of the file to suit you.  Do not change the ARCH variable yet, keep
  it set to SCO.
- cd ..
- make depend >& deplog &   (use tail -f deplog to look at the output)
- make install >& log &

You will run into some problems in the "make" steps.  If fixing them isn't
obvious/easy, email me and we'll take it from there.  Keep the logs around
for reference, and it would help if you take notes for the changes you make.
Regards,

--Raja
