GLIBC 2.7 requirement for Standalone ConTeXt

GLIBC 2.7 requirement for Standalone ConTeXt

Hello,

I'm  running  a  build  server on an older box with CentOS 5. I didn't
update  ConTeXt  Standalone  in quite some time. Now I did since I had
some  problems  with  the  dated  version  in  use, and now I face the
following problem:

texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by texlua)
texlua: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by texlua)

CentOS 5 still ships GLIBC 2.5. What can I do from here? Any chance on
running ConTeXt without upgrading the whole system?

Best Regards,
Andreas

Yes.

We need to make sure that someone with an older glibc builds the
binaries. Is this about the 32-bit or 64-bit linux?

32bit.

As  per  Luigi's  hint/question  I  built  Luatex from SVN (apparently
./build.sh  was  all  there was to it :-)) and used that binary. As it
seems, that already did the trick. I haven't done extensive tests yet,
but that will follow.

If you tell me what the needed steps are to get you the binaries build
in  a  way that could be distributed, I would be willing to do that as
long as my/our CentOS 5 installation is still up and running :-)

(Depending on how often that needs to be done, since it's a machine on
my workplace, so I can't access it anytime I like ...)

Thank you. Feel free to blame Alan then.

I kept compiling LuaTeX binaries on an old SuSE virtual machine
(version 8.x) until recently. Then the need came for a newer compiler
(to be able to compile cairo) and Luigi installed a new compiler to
the box. Then we started compiling XeTeX which needed a newer
fontconfig at which point I "gave up" with maintenance (I felt that
installing fontconfig was relatively non-trivial, even though it
should be doable) and outsourced the task to Alan who compiled the
first luatex binary on 5th April and this was the first complaint
since then.

True.

svn co http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries
./do_all.sh

(you also need the credentials to be able to submit binaries).

This needs to be done for every new release of LuaTeX. It's not that
often, but when it gets released, it's nice if the binaries are
committed soon(ish), particularly for the most common platforms
(i386-linux, x86_64-linux, *-darwin).
