I don't know, but a quick search of RPM's finds this:

http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mathmod&submit=Search+...

Apparently it is packaged for some distros. 

But you can always build from the source.  That's how I do it.

It is quite easy:

unpack tarball

mkdir build && cd build

qmake5 ../MathMod.pro

edit Makefile (if desired)

make

run ./MathMod (no install necessary)

I doubt if the majority of users, even on GNU/Linux, would be
interested in mathmod.
