For RHEL5 no way, it has just old API. We backported many extension to RHEL5.8,
so cryptsetup+kernel dmcrypt should be able to open all LUKS device
formatted in recent versions but API library is obsolete anyway.
Isn't better to just use binary then? Your code will not work on recent

distros (in RHEL6 there is still compatible library but not upstream anymore).
Whatever, see file in attachment, it can be compiled both on RHEL5
and RHEL6 (but not upstream anymore), just with
cc -o luks_test luks_test.c -g -O0 -lcryptsetup -lgcrypt -ldevmapper -luuid
The #ifdef is the because of incompatible changes in header (and API/ABI), one
of the reasons the old API was obsoleted.
If you need anything else... read the source please (test/api-test.c
in RHEL6 version source should give you more hints).
