[daip] AIPS Binary Install Problem: Requiring A Higher Glibc Version {External}

[Eric Greisen]

For 31DEC24 we were forced to move to RedHat 8.  RedHat 7 is no longer supported and is a serious security   risk.  You might consider that for your system as well.  The 31DEC23 binary aips was kept (frozen) at RedHat 7.  You could consider that version.  I do not know about Dcker and would be curious if there is some way that that could be made to work.

Really though you are using truely obsolete system presumable wide open to hackers.

Dear AIPS developers,


I've met a problem when trying to install AIPS on a CentOS 7 server, and FILAIP can't run:


/home/wanghc/aips/31DEC24/LNX64/LOAD/FILAIP.EXE: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /home/wanghc/aips/31DEC24/LNX64/LOAD/FILAIP.EXE)

/home/wanghc/aips/31DEC24/LNX64/LOAD/FILAIP.EXE: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /home/wanghc/aips/31DEC24/LNX64/LIBR/INTELCMP/libbsd.so.0)


The glibc version on the server is 2.17, and it seems to me that the update of glibc is quite impossible if not installing a newer version of Linux (inappropriate for a group server).


I really appreciate it if you could help me with this problem. Maybe I should use docker, can AIPS work well with docker?



Sincerely,


Haochen Wang
