[boost] shared_pointer for C-allocated object?

I have some legacy C code that returns a pointer:

fftw_plan fftw_create_plan(int n, fftw_direction dir, int flags);

where fftw_plan is a pointer.

Can I use shared_pointer to wrap it?  I guess the issue is that eventually
delete will be called on this pointer, but it wasn't allocated with new. 
Is this a problem?
