It might, then again it might not....
It depends on the particular variant of HP_UX you're running.

There is a patch on grind.isca.uiowa.edu called "local.patch" that
makes nn more HP-UX friendly.  It also speeds up nnmaster under
Domain/OS by a large degree.

HP makes some of the nicest hardware around, I wish their software was
at the same level.  If only they'd port Domain/OS to the snakes....
I have nn running on a snake, as well as under Domain/OS, here, and other
than the above mentioned patch, everything should install smoothly.
