Backwards Compatability...
When I compile somthing with g++ on redhat 9 then move that binary to redhat 7.3 It tells me that I am missing an so file. How can I compile the program on my RH 9 box then run it on a 7.3 box... I have reasons for not just compiling it on the 7.3 box.
Thanks a bunch...
find out what that so file is or what provides it.
download, make and install source on your 7.3 box.
Isn't there someway, maybe by using a parameter, that the application would run without that so?
Thanks

would it work to download an old copy of the Kernel (the one from 7.3) on your RH9 computer and boot to that to compile?
Try upgrading glibc for your RH 7. You might be able to get it to work.
I appreciate the help but I think some of you are misunderstanding my question. I am trying to figure out how to do this without upgrading or installing anything new on my 7.3 box. I would like to do this this way because i want to be able to distribute binaries and have them work on as many machines as possible.
What I am thinking is that there is some parameter that I can use to compile the application so it will possibly include the dependency in the binary itself or just compile it so it wont be needed.
I though about just compiling on my box running 7.3 but the hard drive is just .5 gigs and therefore too small to fit a compiler with libraries.
Thank You... that seems to do the trick!
