Yeah...
You're not going to be able to run binaries compiled
specifically for RedHat 6.1 on earlier systems because 6.1 is based
on glibc 2.1 while 6.0 was glibc 2.0 (libc 6) and 5.2 was libc 5.
Binaries on previous versions should work just fine on later
versions subject to kernel changes and interface changes. I've even
got an old a.out (RedHat 3.x) binary running on a RedHat 6.0 system
(don't ask why - it's a long story) although I had to track
down the compatibility libraries and install them.
