A very simple program can demonstrate the problems encountered when
transferring binaries built on Red Hat Linux 6.0 to Red Hat Linux
5.2 systems. Imagine the following code in a file named hello.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
fprintf(stdout, "Hello, world!\n");
return 0;
}
|
When built on a 6.0 system using:
[msw@rhl60 msw]$ gcc -o hello hello.c
|
everything operates properly on program execution:
[msw@rhl60 msw]$ ./hello
Hello, world!
|
If this binary were to be transferred to a 5.2 based system the
user would be disappointed upon its execution:
[msw@rhl52 msw]$ ./hello
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
