Yes, you can move the library to an external hard drive and run it from there. Normally I would recommend Portable Calibre at this point, but since at least one of the computers you want to run it on is non-Windows, that's not an option.
If you're not too worried about keeping your configuration consistent, just copy the library over to the external HD and point Calibre to it on both computers. Most of the major library settings, such as custom fields, are stored as part of the library itself, so you won't have to worry about losing any data this way.
If you really must have all the configuration and settings the same between computers, I've heard there's a way to change the location of the configuration folder, but I've never used it myself. If that's the case, I'd imagine that moving your configuration folder to the external hard drive would work. Maybe someone with more knowledge can comment.
