TJ Fontaine is the ultimate authority on this subject but I believe the last few releases were compiled on a CentOS 6 box. We're in the process of changing that to CentOS 5.x to make the binaries compatible with old versions of glibc*. IIRC, they're currently linked against glibc 2.12. * It was either that or adding symbol aliases by hand in inline assembly. Downgrading CentOS seemed like the lesser hassle. :-) -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
