Apparently, DMD for Linux requires a non-ancient version of Glibc to work, and
worse yet, all the stuff compiled by it requires a similarly non-ancient
version. The problem is that I'm trying to run some jobs on a cluster that
has an ancient version of Linux that my sysadmin doesn't want to upgrade.
Given that i don't have any root/admin privileges, and will never get them,
does anyone know of a workaround to make DMD, or at least stuff compiled by
it, work with ancient versions of glibc?
P.S. Nothing illegal/unethical, such as cracking the root acct. please.
I'm facing the exact same problem (and on a cluster as well!). What I
currently do is compile on my laptop, copy the binary with scp, then
launch via ssh. It would be great if anyone knows of a better solution.
