Can I use a binary client?

Can I use a precompiled agent on a machine with the following information:

uname -r
3.0.13-0.27-default

cat /proc/version
Linux version 3.0.13-0.27-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version 4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP Wed Feb 15 13:33:49 UTC 2012 (d73692b)

cat /etc/issue

Welcome to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 (x86_64) - Kernel \r (\l).

cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11
PATCHLEVEL = 2

I tried the version "Linux 2.6.23" which seems the "highest" but is still < 3.0.13 in sub-type amd64 because it says "x86_64" in the version information. It was a guess. The daemon starts, but

zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -p 10050 -k "agent.ping"

returns empty. Can I use any of the precompiled agents or do I have to compile for myself?

I have compiled the daemon myself now which was much easier than the server, also because on the system all the stuff (gcc, make, ...) was already present.

One reason that the client didn't speak was that "Server" variable in the configuration pointed to my server, after setting this to localhost I could test from shell. Because already the self-compiled daemon was running I can't say any more if the precompiled one would have done the job as well.
