PI1.61 wont run on Fedora 11

Juan,

Here is the error mesage that I got:

[georg@fedora11-x64-win7-2 ~]$ PixInsight.sh
/home/georg/PixInsight/bin/PixInsight: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /home/georg/PixInsight/bin/lib/libfreetype.so.6)

I guess you are compiling PI now on something newer than Fedora11...

I find it interesting (ironic really) that people used to complain about dll-hell on Windows and I've actually had more trouble in that regard with Linux than Windows itself

You may be able to find the correct glibc somewhere and put it in the pcl64/bin directory?

Hi Georg,

Try:

su -c 'yum update glibc*'

I'm building on Fedora 13.

Sander, I agree, there are more practical issues on Linux than on Windows regarding system libraries. That's why there is a bin/lib directory in the Linux version of PI. However I can't include glibc in bin/lib because that causes more problems than solutions. I still have to improve PI's Linux distribution. Another option would be 'freezing' my Linux development machines with an obsolete Linux version, but that isn't my style

BTW, I'm using Fedora 13, and Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (glibc 2.11 is not available for Karmic Koala and previous releases).

Georg,

Any news about this issue? Did the yum update solved it?

[georg.viehoever]

No news yet. For the immediate blind solver problem, I have found a different solution posted last night. So no pressure here anymore.

No, unfortunately this does not help, see log below.

Hi Georg,

Unfortunately, Fedora 11 no longer receives updates. Try removing libfreetype* from bin/lib. There may be other libraries that also require glibc 2.11 in bin/lib; in such case remove them too. PI itself should not have a direct dependency to glibc 2.11.

Let me know if this works. Another option would be putting glibc system libraries on bin/lib (for example from Fedora 12/13).

Hi,

I have chosen to upgrade to Fedora 13. This was quite easy using the PreUpgrade method http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PreUpgrade . Took about 4 hours of download and install -largely unattended. Unfortunately, after this X11 would not start any more. Solution: Upgrade to latest version of VirtualBox, and install guest additions as described in http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=15679 .

Juan: For future releases, please tell us which platforms you recommend (meaning you are sure they will run there, and others might run as well).

He'll say FreeBSB BTW, as I said earlier, PI won't run either on Ubuntu 9.10 or previous releases (outdated glibc). It needs 10.4.
