I am getting the following error when trying to run several executables:
/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by .tools/bridge/bridge)
I have recently upgraded from CentOS 5.3 to 5.7 (I am required to run these tools on CentOS 5, so I can't upgrade to 6). I recompiled the whole code but this error still appears.
Has anyone encountered this type of error?
Thanks, Claudiu
The error means that you built .tools/bridge/bridge on a system with glibc-2.7 (or later), and are trying to run it on a system that has glibc-2.6 or earlier.
Linux (and most UNIXes) does not support "build on later, run on earlier"; only the reverse scenario is supported.
See also this answer.
The 'glibc' is not the latest version, and you can try to update glibc package.
yum install glibc
or
yum install glibc-2.7
