Bernhard, the CentOS5 binaries used to work well on RHEL6 /CentOS6/ SL6 ; there was a glitch a few weeks ago which was fixed after I reported it ( https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=coot;31d9d7f5.1201 ). I install the latest nightly build every couple of months / weeks, and this works very well.
So for those who are not interested in learning to build coot (including me) the binaries are the way to go. If the CentOS5 binary needs libraries on RHEL6 /CentOS6/ SL6 , this can be fixed in the way that applies to all s/w packages: from the error message, find the name of the library; yum install <thatlibrary>; repeat until success. Works very well, even with a mix of 32bit and 64bit libraries. good luck, Kay
