Binaries for Linux (warning)

Binaries for Linux (warning)

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

Alan now tried compiling the luatex binaries for Linux on Debian
rather than on some ancient CentOS (like he did in the past).

In case that any Linux user experiences problems, please let us know
and we'll switch back to CentOS with an older libc, otherwise we would
prefer to stick with Debian (oldstable).

The ./first-setup.sh download will FAIL on CentOS 5 and other older linux installations
dating from the last century as follows: 

sent 19 bytes  received 47 bytes  132.00 bytes/sec
total size is 3525  speedup is 53.41
receiving incremental file list
bin/
bin/luatex

sent 17954 bytes  received 6826826 bytes  1955651.43 bytes/sec
total size is 9533569  speedup is 1.39
texlua: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by texlua)


Please note that the 32bit luatex binaries have been compiled on Debian/oldstable
for some time and this has not appeared to have caused any problems.
