I compiled a self-made program on a fedora11 pc where it runs correctly.

Now I want to run this program on a centos 5.3 pc and I get this error:

"/lib/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.7 not found"

I tried to yum install libc.so.6, but I get the message this package is installed and up to date.

What can I do?

it looks like your glibc in the centos pc is not compatible with the glibc 2.10 of fedora 11.

the libc library is one of the most important library in the system, it defines the 'system calls' and basic facilities, such as open, malloc, printf, exit. I strongly recommend you to *don't* replace it in the centos computer, the only thing that you can do, at my point of view, is compile this program into the centos computer where you have the currect glibc that you will need to run this program, or compiling it in another centos computer in a virtual machine for example.

That is because your fedora11 has higher version of glibc than your centos 5.3 does.

You can fix this by rebuilding your program under centos 5.3 and I think the binary can run on fedora11 too.

The higher version of glibc is backward compatible with lower version.

Hey,

I recommend you to run this command.

This will give some files like /lib/libc.so.4 or /lib/libc.so.5 or some number at the end.

Then, just make a soft link.
This has worked for me several times, should work for you too.

Hope this helps.

Hi Experts


I am running an c++ application in opensuse 10.2 and get the following error:-


bjam: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by bjam).


Can anybody help me.


I found the following article;-


http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-found-744125/


But it wont help me either. I found


/usr/lib/libc.so
/lib/libc.so.6



So it won't solve my problem.Can anybody help me in this regard.


Thanks & Regards
