well, RHL 5.x is glibc 2.0.x and RHL 6.x is glibc 2.1.x.  The two glibcs
only make a passing effort at binary compatibility, so to be safe you
REALLY should recompile from source.  Some 2.0.x packages will work okay
with glibc 2.1, but many will not.  YMMV.  You have been warned :)

Incidentally, to rebuild from source:

1.  Download the .src.rpm file.
2.  'rpm --rebuild (filename)'
