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.

Naive question: Is it possible to somehow download GLIBC 2.15, put it in any folder (e.g. /tmp/myglibc) and then point to this path ONLY when executing something that needs this specific version of glibc?
Yes, it's possible.

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
