Unfortunately, Linux seems to be devolved such that various distributions
are no longer binary compatible. You have to have a executable compiled
for your particular build of your distribution. Or, at least, I haven't
figured out how to create an executable that works across multiple
distributions....
On the other hand, it is easy to compile from sources on Linux. Just grab
the source tarball and untar it. Then do:
./configure --with-openssl=none; make
The command above will generate the "fossil" executable in your working
directory. To install the new executable:
sudo mv fossil /usr/bin
