Will FedoraCore1-built binaries run on all Fedora systems?

[Tom Callahan]

Binaries are dependant upon the libraries they were built with, and what
CPU platform. x86_64 binaries will not work on i686/i386, but i686/i386
binaries will usually work on x86_64 machines.

Use this to find out what libraries are needed:
strace /path/to/program

and look for open(xxxxxxx) statements. Those are the libraries needed
for the binary to run.
