[Opengrads-devel] Shared Library Error Prevents OpenGrADS 2.0.2 From Starting

[Devin B. <db...@ws...>]

Hi there,

I'm attempting to install OpenGrads 2.0.2.oga.2 on our CentOS 5 machine and
am running into some difficulty. I downloaded
the grads-2.0.2.oga.2-bundle-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz package and untarred
it. When I first run "grads" from this, I get 7 errors, 3 that version of
GLIBCX aren't found (in  /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6) and 4 that versions of
GLIBC aren't found (in /lib/libc.so.6). (I can provide the exact error
output if that is helpful.)

To remedy, I tried to copy those libraries from those included in the libs
directory to the gex directory, as suggested in the documentation. After
doing that, I now get this error:

/opt/opengrads2.0.2/Linux/Versions/2.0.2.oga.2/i686/grads: error while
loading shared libraries:
/opt/opengrads2.0.2/Linux/Versions/2.0.2.oga.2/i686/gex/libc.so.6:
unexpected PLT reloc type 0x2a


Interestingly enough, if I download the previous GrADS release
(2.0.1.oga.1), everything works fine if I simply just extract contents of
the tarball. This happens with both the oga.1 and oga.2 releases of version
2.0.2. I did notice that there's a bit of a difference in filenames between
2.0.1 and 2.0.2 - could this be part of the difference?

grads-2.0.1.oga.1-bundle-i686-glibc2.5-linux-gnu.tar.gz
-versus-
grads-2.0.2.oga.2-bundle-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Does this seem to be some sort of issue with the distribution or does it
seem more like a problem on my end?

Thanks!
