The problem with Tomsrtbt is that it uses LIBC5 in order to save space. I don't know about other distributions, but Slackware does not have LIBC5 available and hasn't since version 8.0 when it was in the "pasture" directory. So, in order to use the install script as is, you have to find a LIBC5 package. I suppose you could also hack on the script or something to make it work.
