[Opensim-dev] DllNotFoundException: lib64/libode-x86_64

[Jeff Kelley]

Hi.

It seems that commit 073877d (ODE lib: update the lib for linux 
64bit) has introduced a dependency on glibc 2.14, raising a 
DllNotFoundException when running a ODE/ubODE simulator with an older 
glibc :

Unfortunately, upgrading glibc past the version supported by a distro 
is not possible. This rules out (for example) RHEL 6, Debian 6 and 
maybe 7, and Ubuntu 10.

I think there is a choice to make here : either require glibc >= 2.14 
and subsequently raise the version for qualified Linux distros ; or 
rebuild the libs with a pre 2.14 glibc.

What the team thinks?
