Not of course.  You didn't say which distribution you used; several
distributions would have taken your Red Hat 6.1 binary and worked just
fine - Bering and Oxygen are two.

It's not a big deal, you just have to use the right libraries. 
Easiest way is to use a full distribution like Red Hat 5.2, Mandrake
5.3, Debian Slink 2.1, or similar.  All of these use glibc 2.0.

You could also get a binary from one of these distributions - but that
would be very old code.  Better to compile.

Of course, you can load up the compatability libraries on Red Hat 6.1
- look at Red Hat's instructions on compiling for Red Hat 5.

If you choose to compile your own (or even if not) - the Oxygen/LEAF
Resource CDROM (650M!) contains all of the compatability RPMs for Red
Hat 6.x and more.  There is also the LRP Developer's Guide, which you
may find of interest - it describes a lot of technical details about
compiling code, kernels, how the kernel works, etc.
