David Mitchell, I agree the centos 6 end-of-life date of 2020 indicates we should consider continued support. However, that would take non-trivial effort and our resources are limited. The new JE uses features in newer linux releases and supporting both centos 6 and 7 would require us to provide separate release packages.
A search on this issue shows it is an increasingly common problem for centos 6 users. You might be forced to upgrade to 7 before the end-of-life for other reasons. One suggested solution is to install and run the new glibc version alongside the older one. I have no idea if this is safe or makes any sense. If you want to run 805 on that machine and don't want to update the centos version then you could investigate this. A snippet from a search: *** To install glibc 2.14 in parallel, add the configure prefix: tar zxvf glibc-2.14.tar.gz cd glibc-2.14 mkdir build cd build ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14 make -j4 make install *** Summary of the 4 options: 1. upgrade to centos 7 2. install glibc-2.14 in parallel - if this works, please let the forum know 3. build from jsource 4. run 804 on that machine ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
