Of course if you link e.g. some toolkit libraries, the answer will be most probably no. We have backwards compatibility, not forward compatibility, so you should be able to run programs built on AS2.1 on FC1 and EL3 on FC1. Dynamically linked programs are always way more compatible than statically linked ones, if the program ever uses NSS, iconv, dlopen or locales. Jakub
