This often occurs when you build software in RHEL 7 and try to run on RHEL 6.

To update GLIBC to any version, simply download the package from

https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libc/

For example glibc-2.14.tar.gz in your case.

1. tar xvfz glibc-2.14.tar.gz
2. cd glibc-2.14
3. mkdir build
4. cd build
5. ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14
6. make
7. sudo make install
8. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then try to run your software, glibc-2.14 should be linked.

Is there any support for glibc 2.14 in RHEL 6? - Red Hat Customer Portal
August 5, 2024 - Is there any support for glibc 2.14? A dynamic library, libnss3.so, is required for an application; however, this appears to be built against version 2.14 of glibc, as the following message is seen: ./libnss3.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./libnss3.so)

I think you could download the newest glibc there. If this doesn't work access.redhat.com/solutions/10154 You can then install the downloaded rpm, by transferring it to the server.

r/redhat on Reddit: Is it possible to install older glibc (from Rhel7) on rhel 8?
May 21, 2023 -

Hello everyone,

Is there a safe way to install older glibc on redhat 8 so I can get legacy applications that support older rhel 7 to run?

I was able to install the older rpm into a second directory, but when I tried to launch the application, it didn't use that glibc. If I try to ld_library_path, it breaks everything else since, of course, rhel 8 uses newer system glibc. Is there a way around this? Or do I need to use chroot or container of centos7?

Thanks
