The executable and the shared library are not compatible.  I'm surprised, since
the whole idea behind 'rpm' is to check for compatibility between packages.
This is particularly complicated with X applications, since there are so many
libraries involved.  I'll usually statically link my applications if they're
to be used elsewhere.

I suggest that you get a complete installation CD for RedHat 6.x, and have it
go through its upgrade procedure.  That way you'll get the kitchen sink, too.
