Hi Steve- I have been unable to find external or internal documentation about glibc compatibility for lx24.
I have since upgraded to SGE 6.2u7 and the glibc installed (SL 6.1) is as follows Name : glibc Arch : x86_64 Version : 2.12 Release : 1.47.el6 Size : 12 M Repo : installed >From repo : sl-securit Name : glib Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 1.2.10 Release : 33.el6 Size : 354 k Repo : installed >From repo : base Would you happen to have any suggestions on where I can look to rule out glibc-based problems?
