Yes. But there should be a package with the runtime libraries, i.e. so that it's not necessary to install the complete compiler suite (I assume in your situation that they are installed, but with different versions). Maybe you can check for older/newer libs in the repository of the distributions.

Which libraries are necessary can be listed by issuing:

$ ldd cpi

on each of the machines and whether they are found.

NB: With commercial compilers it's for this reason often allowed in the license to give away the runtime libraries (and only these) with your compiled application, as otherwise your customers couldn't run your applications.
