1.2. Application Compatibility
This release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides dependencies so applications designed to run on earlier versions of the operating system continue to run with minimum disruption. To that end, older versions of key libraries are included to preserve legacy interfaces that might have changed between this release and prior versions. These libraries serve as dependencies primarily for applications written in C/C++.
Note that it is not necessary to re-test or re-certify applications between minor releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Red Hat Enterprise Linux compatibility policies ensure that applications running on a version of the release will continue to run throughout the life of the release. For example, applications certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 will be fully compatible on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 and so on.
Refer to the following table for details on these compatibility packages:
| Package | Description |

| compat-expat1 | Expat is a stream-oriented XML parser. This package provides library compatibility with previous versions. |
| compat-glibc | glibc is the C library used for system calls and other basic facilities. This package provides compatibility (and runtime libraries) for the compiling of binaries that require older glibc versions, and allows them to run on this release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. |
| compat-libf2c-34 | This package provides older versions of Fortran 77 shared libraries, which are needed to run dynamically-linked Fortran 77 programs. |
| compat-libgcc-296 | Contains the 2.96 libgcc.a library and support object files to retain compatibility with older versions of GCC. |
| compat-libgfortran-41 | This package includes a Fortran 95 runtime library for compatibility with GCC 4.1.x compiled Fortran applications. |
| compat-libstdc++-295 | Provides compatibility with the GNU standard C++ library version 2.95. |
| compat-libstdc++-296 | Provides compatibility with the GNU standard C++ library version 2.96. |
| compat-libstdc++-33 | Provides compatibility with the GNU standard C++ library version 3.3. |
| compat-libtermcap | This package provides compatibility for older termcap-based programs. |
| compat-openldap | OpenLDAP is an open source suite of LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) applications and development tools. The compat-openldap package includes older versions of the OpenLDAP shared libraries which are sometimes required by some applications. |
