yes, but i'd say it is worse than recompiling from source.
you have to collect all required runtime libs equivalent to the
runtime environment the binary was compiled on in a special directory,
also copy the matching ld-linux.so there. then rename the namd2
executable to namd2.real and generate a bourne shell script roughly
like this and call it namd2 instead:
#!/bin/sh
COMPATLIBDIR=/some/path/to/newer/libs
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${COMPATLIBDIR}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH-/lib}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec ${COMPATLIBDIR}/ld-linux.so /path/to/namd/namd2.real "$@"
this is effectively the same trick that openoffice uses and i've
used it in the past to make executables of vmd work on very old
linux installations. the unknown here is the compatibility of the
intel compiler runtime and the mpi library. those may turn out
not to be compatible (but they usually are).
cheers,
