Some configuration changes might be needed to migrate from 2.5 to 2.6.
See
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.6/squid-2.6.STABLE1-RELEASENOTES.html#s1
for details.

You can, but you might want to pare down the list a little. I start
with "configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include
--datadir=/usr/share --bindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid
--localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc/squid" to use the RedHat
directories and add options from there.

Be aware that the RHEL 5 Squid package
(squid-2.6.STABLE6-5.el5_1.3.i386.rpm) adds a configuration directive
(max_filedesc) which is not present in the non-RedHat-customized version.
