Glibc and OS versions

Targets Web
1

Just starting with web and have a little nightmare with versions, I’m using version 2015r3 and getting error: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14’ not found when testing a small app.

VPS techs told me to get a new server with a new version of OS, I did and got a Centos6, still the error. Now they tell me that Centos 6 comes with glibc 2.12 and the only solution I have is to recompile with older versions of glibc.

I’m really confused now. Which version of glibc and / or Centos do I need for this Xojo ? And which version is the current standard, just to be sure my VPS installs a correct one and not an older.
I understand this versions must be treated as a minimum but I may have a more recent one and be compatible, correct?

Thanks for your help.

Make sure you’ve got the 32-bit versions of the libs.

I have compiled for 64bits, should I compile for 32 and request VPS to install 32bits libraries? In this case which version of the libs ?

Thanks.

There was another thread recently, I think in CentOS land you will need v7 due to the GLib thingy and 64 bits

Found it. https://forum.xojo.com/27190-xojo2015r3-glibc-2-14/

Thanks, will take a look at the links provided.

I decided to start web just because of the new 64bits support but the commonly available VPS run all CentOS 6 and they are not compatible.

You’ll find just as many that offer CentOS 7. Rackspace offers both, for instance.
