Hello All,

I am having a situation where I have to install and run Context in a Linux machine but the machine(s) have only RHEL 7.6 (which comes with only GLIBC_2.17).
From the initial error logs it appears that Context needs minimum GLIBC_2.23. Therefore, I did the following work around and it almost worked ! (there were no more GLIBC_2.23 errors and installation was progressing well...) , till it did not... :-( 

Any tips or suggestions to try would be indeed very helpful. Thanks so much !

Work Around -
Manually installed GLIBC_2.23 as per the instructions here - in my own directory where I have full access -

Patchelf Utility
Used the patchelf utility - https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/patchelf 

Changed the following Context install files
install.sh (just before running mtxrun)
===
patchelf --set-interpreter /my-own-dir/opt/glibc-2.23/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --set-rpath /my-own-dir/opt/glibc-2.23/lib:/usr/lib64 $PWD/bin/mtxrun $PWD/bin/mtxrun --script ./bin/mtx-install.lua --update --server="$LMTXSERVER" --instance="$LMTXINSTANCE" --platform="$PLATFORM" --erase --extras="$LMTXEXTRAS"
mtx-install.lua (just before running mtxrunbin)
