hpux 11.11 and 11.00 compatibility

Hi,
I have a C application compiled in the hpux11.11 environment. When I try to run it in a hpux 11.00 system I get the following error:
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: __sendpath64 (code). Is some patch required or the two systems are not compatible?

Hi

Every OS is a subset of the next version. Or a superset of the previous one.

Upwards compatibility . compile 11 run 11.11 is supported but not the other way.

There are things on 11.11 which are not on 11

Re: hpux 11.11 and 11.00 compatibility

compatibility will be for the next version not the previous version.

Even sometime, things compiled on 11.0 does not work on 11i unless you re-compile. One example will be oracle. Needs re-compile after OS upgrade.
Or sometime if you are way behind on patches and try to bring the patch level to current patches, it changes many LIBRARIES and then you will need to re-compile your stuff...
