Greg, followed your usingEuphoria.com installing Euphoria on Linux tutorial, and I'm hitting this error:

groot@vps5101520 [~]# eui -v 
eui: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by eui) 
eui: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by eui) 
eui: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by eui) 

Maybe you could add a resolution to a "Troubleshooting" section?

Thanks!

This is Linux when you compile with a newer glib version and try to use the binary on another system with an older glibc. If you translate to c source on the newer one and compile on the older one you would get a binary that works on both.

You cannot as the project does not support that. Nor should you. CentOS 7 uses systemd and, while its merits may be debated elsewhere, that can create undue troubles if you're not ready to learn its ways.

I'm saying that if you're not used to CentOS 7, be prepared for things to work differently. systemctl instead of service, firewalld instead of iptables, etc.

If you're working from an effectively blank web host, then go for it. Euphoria 4.1 will work out of the box. I'll gladly answer any CentOS 7 questions you might have.

Confusingly, GLIB and glibc are unrelated projects.

Note: it's already glibc and never GLIB C - in fact it'd be more accurate to call it G LIBC.

Asking your host to upgrade glibc to 2.15 or higher would certainly fix the issue. This isn't supported by Red Hat afaik however. Unless your web host is full of gurus it's unlikely they'd have the skills to compile glibc from source and create a deployable package.

Still, doesn't hurt to ask.

Wow! So... then... should I find another host if I want to use Euphoria to serve web content?

That's a pain. This GLIBC problem is probably enough to make Linux Torvalds say "hang yourself now" to the glibc devs.

Basically I have two ideas for you:

Method 1

On a Linux system with Euphoria already installed and working. In the Euphoria source directory, update to the desired version of Euphoria, and run "./configure && make source" [CORRECTED use "make source" not "make eusource"] and put the created build directory created into a tar ball. Then, go to the target system and get the regular Euphoria sources with Mercurial. After that, and checkout the desired version of Euphoria, compile from the source using the without-euphoria option to configure. Like this "./configure --without-euphoria && make interpreter"

Method 2

Install Euphoria 4.0.0, to your Cent/OS system. I compiled that with Slackware a long time ago. Install that. You can then build the newest head sources with 4.0.0.
