run program compiled on another kernel

run program compiled on another kernel

[Danijel Mlinaric]

Hi,
I have a little problem with programs compiled on the latest Fedora Core 6, 
gcc version 4.1.1. The thing is when I run any program, including simplest 
printf("hello world")... on devil linux version 1.2.10 kernel 2.4.32, I get 
message: "Floating point exception". I normally run all programs on Fedora, 
but I need to get things working on Devil. I was thinking that the problem 
is with difference between kernel version 2.4 vs. 2.6 (Fedora). I tried to 
compile programs with -O0 option (without optimization), but no good. Any 
ideas?

Thanks for your time, sorry for bad english!
With regards!

This is the wrong mailing list.  You might have better luck
on a mailing list for the Devil linux distribution.

Most of the time, you can move programs from one version
of Linux to a later version without problem.  There may be
issues moving from a later version to earlier, since version
will often have later library versions as well.

Generally, you would do well to recompile a program when
moving to an earlier distribution.
