Yes! I have nethack 3.0 patchlevel 10 up and running.
I forget exactly where I got the sources, but I think it was on nic.funet.fi
in /pub/OS/Linux somewhere. (I just had a look there and found a file called
'nh3pl10bin.tar.Z' before the ftp server went down.)
It compiled perfectly first time without even having to edit the makefile -
someone had already done all the work to get it running for Linux.

I have also done a quick hack to get color working. I send the patch
if anyone wants it.

This .signature virus is a self-referential statement that is true - but 
you will only be able to consistently believe it if you copy it to your own
