In line with Kay's message this sounds like pdb2ins having being linked statically with glibc. AFAIK this can be problematic since glibc in reality can never be completely statically linked. This may cause version conflicts if the same version of glibc is not present on the users system. To avoid this problem do not link glibc statically into a binary for distribution.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi George

I’m not sure that anyone here is using shelxl but I’ve just updated
our general 64-bit Linux versions anyway. shell starts OK, but with
pdb2ins I get a complaint. Do you understand this? (I should probably
ask our local guys)

Our system is
Scientific Linux release 6.7 (Carbon)

 ./pdb2ins
./pdb2ins: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required
by /tmp/_MEIQO85tj/libz.so.1)

best wishes
Phil

SHELXL may be used to refine both small and macromolecular structures against X-ray or neutron diffraction data, including non-merohedral twins. A new version 2016/6 of SHELXL may now be downloaded from the SHELX server. It has been well tested by about 20 volunteers to whom I am very grateful. A new version of Anna Luebben's program PDB2INS is also available there (for 64 bit systems only). PDB2INS makes the preparation of the .ins and .hkl files to run macromolecular SHELXL refinements much easier. For most structures deposited in the PDB since 2008 these two files can be generated automatically and no changes are needed to run SHELXL.
