Both of the other distributions that you mention (SuSE and Caldera)
package their distribution using RPM as well. This makes it a little
easier to "cut and paste" between the two because you have a .src.rpm
available on the other distribution.
A quick rebuild of the binary package from the source would ensure that
it's using the updated libraries available on your new system.
The one thing I _would_ do is check for updated packages. Alot of times
there are updates since the other distribution shipped.
