There are a few platforms which have been attempted and which have been reported to not work with the standard distribution. Others listed here do not provide sufficient library support for an attempt.
Table 22-2. Possibly Incompatible Platforms
| OS | Processor | Version | Reported | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MacOS | all | v6.3 | 1998-03-01 | not library compatible; use ODBC/JDBC |
| NetBSD | arm32 | v6.3 | 1998-03-01 | not yet working (Dave Millen) |
| NetBSD | m68k | v6.3 | 1998-03-01 | Amiga, HP300, Mac; not yet working (Henry Hotz) |
| NextStep | x86 | v6.x | 1998-03-01 | client-only support; v1.0.9 worked with patches (David Wetzel) |
| Ultrix | MIPS,VAX? | v6.x | 1998-03-01 | no recent reports; obsolete? |

Note that Windows ports of the frontend are apparently possible using third-party Posix porting tools and libraries.
