I need these 2 packages installed on RHEL 6 linux system. They are required by several other programs.
When I do:
sudo yum install glibc-devel
this is output:
Loaded plugins: product-id, security
Setting up Install Process
Package glibc-devel-2.12-1.166.el6_7.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
Is there some EPEL with GLIBC_2.15 for RHEL? If not - what is a workaround here?
This often occurs when you build software in RHEL 7 and try to run on RHEL 6.
To update GLIBC to any version, simply download the package from
For example glibc-2.14.tar.gz in your case.
1. tar xvfz glibc-2.14.tar.gz
2. cd glibc-2.14
3. mkdir build
4. cd build
5. ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14
6. make
7. sudo make install
8. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Then try to run your software, glibc-2.14 should be linked.
