The same was also offered by a different vendor (1), they just recompiled there software and gave us the opportunity to test it under C6. Before that it only was running under Ubuntu. I just was curious about such solution to give the second vendor a hint (the symptoms are the same). -- LF

Most likely it will compile fine, and the produced binary will run on C6 as well as more recent distributions.
