I tried the binary executables of mudpf for linux on 5.7, but the glibc 
is not compatible.

I then tried to make from source:

[ykarant@localhost mupdf-0.9]$ make
     MKDIR build/debug
     CC build/debug/base_error.o
     CC build/debug/base_geometry.o
     CC build/debug/base_getopt.o
     CC build/debug/base_hash.o
     CC build/debug/base_memory.o
     CC build/debug/base_object.o
     CC build/debug/base_string.o
     CC build/debug/base_time.o
     CC build/debug/crypt_aes.o
     CC build/debug/crypt_arc4.o
     CC build/debug/crypt_md5.o
     CC build/debug/crypt_sha2.o
     CC build/debug/dev_bbox.o
     CC build/debug/dev_list.o
     CC build/debug/dev_null.o
     CC build/debug/dev_text.o
fitz/dev_text.c:8:10: error: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME>

make: *** [build/debug/dev_text.o] Error 1

Also, no go.  What did you do differently?
