How to install GLIBC_2.14 without admin right

Question

I want to use gdc-client, however, after I download it and run it. the system reported as:

./gdc-client: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /tmp/_MEI5oSpPi/libz.so.1)

It is our University Server, I don't have any admin right. Do you know how to install GLIBC_2.14 without admin right?

Build glibc-2.14 in your /home/name/, install the lib´s to /home/[name]/lib/ ... and start the app with : `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/[name]/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH && ./gdc-client` — Knud Larsen, Jul 29 '16 at 18:17

gdc-client github issued this problem that glibc 2.12 is the latest that's available for CentOS 6.

If your system is CentOS release 6.6, I think you should download the gdc-client source code and compile it yourself. gdc-client is based on the py2.

git clone https://github.com/NCI-GDC/gdc-client
python setup.py install

You may meet the problem

The 'lxml==3.5.0b1' distribution was not found and is required by gdc-client

or

ImportError: /usr/lib64/libxml2.so.2: version `LIBXML2_2.9.0' not found (required by lxml/etree.so)

You need to install libxslt and libxml2 in your home path. And add xml2-config and xslt-config to your path. export PATH="/prog_path/libxslt-1.1.29/bin:/prog_path/libxml2-2.9.4/bin:$PATH"

Then

pip uninstall lxml
pip install lxml==3.5.0b1 --install-option="--auto-rpath"

Finnaly, compile gdc-client source code.

python setup.py install

It worked.
