| | 2 | = glibc version problems = |
| | 3 | Compute nodes in partitions '''defq''' and '''interactive''' (as well as login nodes) have Centos version 6.5 with glibc version 2.12. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | When you try to run a pre-build software that is built on a newer operating system, you will encounter the error, for example, |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | {{{ |
| | 8 | $ prefetch |
| | 9 | ./prefetch: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./prefetch) |
| | 10 | }}} |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | Since glibc version on Centos version 6.5 nodes is 2.12, GLIBC_2.14 isn't available. It is possible to run this software if you use the compute nodes in partition '''centos7''', which have Centos version 7.4 with glibc version 2.17. See [https://wiki.hpc.tulane.edu/trac/wiki/cypress/using#SelectingCentOSglibcVersionViaSLURMpartition here] for more details. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | See the alternate solution below if your software requires a glibc version greater than 2.17. |

| | 16 | == Work with Singularity Images == |
| | 17 | [https://sylabs.io/ Singularity] allows you to run an application built for a different distribution of Linux than Cypress OS (Centos 6 or 7). Here we run Rockylinux 9.2 on Cypress using Singularity. |
