This is essentially a repeat of question asked here. However, I am using Red Hat Version 6.6, which has glibc 2.12 (glibc 2.17, I think was introduced with RHEL ver 7). Is it possible to install tensorflow locally, without upgrading OS. (I don't have admin privileges). This is the error I am getting

ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /data02/storage/kgupt33/.local/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/_pywrap_tensorflow.so)

  • Can you just update glibc? – Salvador Dali Nov 16 '15 at 08:55
  • Updating system glibc, will require the whole OS upgrade (I checked that with sys admin). I tried installing glibc locally, but that also requires upgrading tons of system libraries. – kampta Nov 16 '15 at 09:17

    Upvoted - I am also getting this error - and was hoping to get a local/user install of the glibc-2.17/ld.so too. I'm not admin on a Red Hat 4.4.6-3 - and help welcome! – GavinBrelstaff Nov 20 '15 at 09:16
  • I have the same issue and I m really curious how to fix it... without upgrading the whole OS. – Szymon Roziewski Dec 21 '15 at 12:19

This is essentially a repeat of question asked here.

And the same answer should work. What stops you from downloading glibc-2.17 packages, unpacking them, and using the glibc-2.17/ld.so with correct --library-path?

Is it possible to install tensorflow locally, without upgrading OS.

Yes, using above answer.

    I downloaded glibc's latest version, but compiling it requires updating a lot of libraries (like gcc, binutils, etc.). Are you asking me to use a precompiled version? – kampta Nov 17 '15 at 07:39
