Error: version 'GLIBC_2.29' not found

[pranshua]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my Linux pre-compiled distribution installed and running. When running the ./xrun.scr script in the /testing directory to test if everything is installed properly,, I keep getting an error that 'GLIBC_2.29' is not found. I have installed the external library but it seems like the hyts_std executable is unable to find it. I've tried to follow the instructions in the external_libraries README file to add the path of the library to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH but that hasn't worked either. I've tried various other methods of setting the proper environmental variables for this to link properly but it hasn't worked. Any advice would be much appreciated!

I'm wondering if I should move the folder the external package is in to one of the hysplit directories but am unsure where I would move it.

And I can provide more details on what I've tried so far as well, if that would help.

Thank you in advance!

What is your Linux flavor and version? Precompiled HYSPLIT packages are available for CentOS 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, Ubuntu 20, and Generic. Which precompiled HYSPLIT package have you installed?

I installed the Ubuntu 20 version. I'm currently working on the supercomputers at my institution, which runs Rocky 8.10. One of the admins said that any Linux distribution should be compatible with their systems but now I'm wondering if that isn't the case.

For Rocky 8 operating systems, try using the precompiled HYSPLIT distribution for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8. According to Internet search, Rocky Linux is a clone of RHEL.

Thank you so much! I just installed the RHEL 8 version and ran the xrun.scr script in the testing directory and it seems to be working perfectly. I appreciate your help!
