Pyrfa looking for GLIBC_2.14

[ayofash]

Hi,

Does pyrfa work on RHEL6 builds? Running ldd on the pyrfa.so yields the below:

./pyrfa.so: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./pyrfa.so)

What's the Python version you are using on RHEL6?

Most likely, you are trying to use Pyrfa for Python2.7 with Python2.6 on RHEL6. You can download PyRFA for RHEL Python2.6 from https://pypi.python.org/packages/79/83/bb4efcec4b5f19e0a2868c66ed60eac537c887bfe5dc03542bd2c3484f0b/pyrfa-8.2.0-cp26-none-manylinux1_x86_64.whl

I'm actually using python 2.7 and trying to install the latest 8.2 pyrfa version for python 2.7 like you mentioned. I included pip install details below.

This happens when the application meant for running on RHEL 7 to be run on RHEL 6. So you can upgrade your GLIB to be 2.14 by download from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.14.tar.gz and build it.
