GLIBC 2.7 requirement for Standalone ConTeXt
Hello, I'm running a build server on an older box with CentOS 5. I didn't update ConTeXt Standalone in quite some time. Now I did since I had some problems with the dated version in use, and now I face the following problem: texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by texlua) texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by texlua) CentOS 5 still ships GLIBC 2.5. What can I do from here? Any chance on running ConTeXt without upgrading the whole system? -- Best Regards, Andreas

can you build luatex on CentOS 5 ?

Yes. We need to make sure that someone with an older glibc builds the binaries. Is this about the 32-bit or 64-bit linux? Mojca

32bit. As per Luigi's hint/question I built Luatex from SVN (apparently ./build.sh was all there was to it :-)) and used that binary. As it seems, that already did the trick. I haven't done extensive tests yet, but that will follow. If you tell me what the needed steps are to get you the binaries build in a way that could be distributed, I would be willing to do that as long as my/our CentOS 5 installation is still up and running :-) (Depending on how often that needs to be done, since it's a machine on my workplace, so I can't access it anytime I like ...) -- Best Regards, Andreas

32bit.
Thank you. Feel free to blame Alan then. I kept compiling LuaTeX binaries on an old SuSE virtual machine (version 8.x) until recently. Then the need came for a newer compiler (to be able to compile cairo) and Luigi installed a new compiler to the box. Then we started compiling XeTeX which needed a newer fontconfig at which point I "gave up" with maintenance (I felt that installing fontconfig was relatively non-trivial, even though it should be doable) and outsourced the task to Alan who compiled the first luatex binary on 5th April and this was the first complaint since then.

True.

svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries ./do_all.sh (you also need the credentials to be able to submit binaries).
(Depending on how often that needs to be done, since it's a machine on my workplace, so I can't access it anytime I like ...)
This needs to be done for every new release of LuaTeX. It's not that often, but when it gets released, it's nice if the binaries are committed soon(ish), particularly for the most common platforms (i386-linux, x86_64-linux, *-darwin). Mojca
