Anyway to do a compile c++ on 8.04 to run on 6.04

[Gilles Gravier]

Linda, this is typically one of the situations that is answered by the
use of virtualization.

Install VirtualBox : http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
(it's free)

Then install 6.06 LTS in VirtualBox. Do all your tests on that
virtualized environment.

You can also install an 8.04 LTS in that same way (VirtualBox lets you
create multiple virtual machines) and test future apps on 8.04 without
risking your production systems.

Gilles.
