dependency on GLIBC_2.14

[Asmita]

Dear Dr Xu,

  I am a Linux Debian user and have recently downloaded the latest x3dna-v2.1. when running the executables, i am getting this message :

"mutate_bases: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by mutate_bases)"

Now current debian distribution has 2.11 version, and there is no hope that future debian distributions will go for higher glibc versions.

Is it possible to run x3dna programs with this older version of glibc??

Thanks

Asmita

Hi Asmita,

Thanks for reporting the problem of running 3DNA v2.1 on Debian. What are your specific Debian settings? What's the output of running "uname -a"? I will look into the issue soon, and your feedback helps in solving the problem.

output of uname -a :

"Linux hostname 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 15 15:39:52 UTC 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux"

and of lsb_release -a :

bin [514] ./mutate_bases
===========================================================================
NAME
        mutate_bases -- mutate bases, with backbone conformation unchanged
SYNOPSIS
        mutate_bases [OPTIONS] mutinfo pdbfile outfile
DESCRIPTION
        perform in silico base mutations of 3-dimensional nucleic acid
        structures, with two key and unique features: (1) the sugar-
        phosphate backbone conformation is untouched; (2) the base
        reference frame (position and orientation) is reserved, i.e.,
        the mutated structure shares the same base-pair/step
        parameters as the original one.

As shown above, the latest 3DNA v2.1 (2013feb22) is working properly on Debian 6.

Recent 3DNA v2.1 Linux 64-bit releases have been compiled on CentOS 5 (x86_64), which has "ldd (GNU libc) 2.5". Moreover, I have just verified that the latest 2013feb22  x86_64 version works on the following settings:

• Scientific Linux 6; ldd (GNU libc) 2.12
• Ubuntu 8.04; ldd (GNU libc) 2.7
• Ubuntu 12.04; ldd (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.15-0ubuntu10.3) 2.15

Unless I am missing something obvious, you must have been using a previous release of 3DNA v2.1 which was compiled on Ubuntu 12.04. Install the 2013feb22 release of 3DNA v2.1 and report back if that helps.

Does anyone else have such problem with the Linux 64 bit version of 3DNA v2.1 (2013feb22)?
