4.X Binaries on 5.X or 6.X?

[Don O'Neil]

I haven't tried running them yet, I'm just asking since I'm planning on
building a new server and would prefer to use 5.x or 6.x rather than 4.11
which my old server is running. 

I guess the best way to find out is to try... I was just asking if there
_could_ be any issues.

If you were in my position, would you install 5.4 or 6.0? I noticed there
are quite a lot of changes in 6.0 and it requires at least 5.3 for upgrade
purposes... So my question is, is it really ready for 'prime time'?

Most likely there are reasons. What's the error message? Did you installed
misc/compat4x?
