Different kernel, different compiler, different dependencies. You can
try using a package for redhat on fedora (most of those packages are for
redhat 7 thru 9), and it will possibly run. But this is not always true.
Sometimes, you will have to ask for a package for fedora, or compile the
program yourself.
