Because of all the nifty low-level things Condor performs in standard 
universe, such as process migration and remote system calls, it 
typically requires human developer time/effort to port to every new OS 
release as it is sensitive to glibc and kernel changes.

Porting of standard universe to RHEL6 / SL6 was just recently completed, 
and will debut in Condor v7.6.3 (which will appear on the web this 
week).  So if you download v7.6.3 and build it with the proper cmake 
options for standard universe support, it will work.  Or download v7.6.3 
RHEL6 binaries from the UW site if you do not want to build it yourself.

Todd
