Maybe yes, maybe no.
3.0 earlier than STABLE5 have a mix of known problems with
authentication. Try the latest (currently STABLE7) and see if the issue
resolves.

It _should_ build easily on Ubuntu. But I see their STABLE6 package has
stalled, so while I look into that, any build issues at all (even the
slightest) let me know.
