The checkpointing library interacts with your application at a very low 
level. Due to changes in C++ implementation in gcc, it takes work to make 
the library work correctly with new versions of gcc. In the future, we hope 
to remove C++ from the checkpointing library, which will simplify porting.

It isn't an issue with the Linux distribution per se, but with the default 
compiler. Although we don't test Condor with many Linux distributions, if 
you use a build of Condor that matches the distribution you use closely 
enough, it should work.

Very soon we will release Condor 6.6.1 which will work with RedHat 8 & 9 in 
the standard universe. It is undergoing final testing internally. Yesterday 
I would have given you a date for the release, but then a bug was found 
that will delay the release a little bit.
