I take that back.  When I got home I checked what I had in my download
area.  I did not have the source.  I had two tarfiles.  One was for
fedora2.  The other was named nvu-0.40-pc-linux-gnu.tar.  It's this
latter one I had untarred into the place I usually install stuff.  (I
typically install in either /usr or /usr/local and then put a link in
/usr/local/bin pointing to the executable.  Keeps the path short)  So,
it looks like I downloaded the tarball that was built on Linspire
(Debian k2.4) and it worked on my RH9 system.

So, give the Debian tarball a shot.  It just might work.
