Hello All, I am having a situation where I have to install and run Context in a Linux machine but the machine(s) have only RHEL 7.6 (which comes with only GLIBC_2.17). >From the initial error logs it appears that Context needs minimum GLIBC_2.23. Therefore, I did the following work around and it almost worked ! (there were no more GLIBC_2.23 errors and installation was progressing well...) , till it did not... :-(
Any tips or suggestions to try would be indeed very helpful. Thanks so much ! *Work Around* - Manually installed GLIBC_2.23 as per the instructions here - in my own directory where I have full access - https://gist.github.com/carlesloriente/ab3387e7d035ed400dc2816873e9089e *Patchelf Utility* Used the patchelf utility - https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/patchelf *Changed the following Context install files* *install.sh (just before running mtxrun)* *===* patchelf --set-interpreter /my-own-dir/opt/glibc-2.23/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --set-rpath /my-own-dir/opt/glibc-2.23/lib:/usr/lib64 $PWD/bin/mtxrun $PWD/bin/mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-install.lua --update --server="$LMTXSERVER" --instance="$LMTXINSTANCE" --platform="$PLATFORM" --erase --extras="$LMTXEXTRAS" *mtx-install.lua (just before running mtxrunbin)* ==== run("patchelf --set-interpreter /my-own-dir/opt/glibc-2.23/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --set-rpath /my-own-dir/opt/glibc-2.23/lib:/usr/lib64 %s", mtxrunbin) run("%s --generate",mtxrunbin) *Error that I see (in the step `make luametatex format`) - * resolvers | formats | changing to format path '/my-own-dir /ConTeXt/tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f3 2e/formats/luametatex' resolvers | formats | executing runner 'make luametatex format': / my-own-dir/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --ini --lua=/my-own-dir/chantool/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/luat-cod.lmt /my-own-dir/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-en. mkxl This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.08.01 2097153(/my-own-dir/ConTeXt/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/cont-en.mkxl(context.mkxl(syst-ini.m kxl !
