What do you mean "upgrade" ?
Hello, Apparently it means that CentOS uses something like a several-years-span-back-in-time libc library and you cannot do much about it. That's no problem in general since you would not take a suse-compiled firefox and take the binary to your CentOS. You are the first user that has complained so far (most probably because you are the first user to try ConTeXt on CentOS). There are several options: a) (dangerous; I would not do it) install a more recent version of libc on your machine b) we need to set up some virtual machine with an old linux and compile binaries there or find someone else with a reasonably old 64-bit linux server c) you would need to compile the binaries for minimals on regular basis d) since LuaTeX works fine, just stick to MKIV (MKII is highly unsuitable for writing Vietnamese anyway :) :) :) e) Reinhard was trying to convince me to typeset some of his Vietnamese documents in ConTeXt back in May. Those test documents have revealed quite some bugs in font setups in ConTeXt MKII. If Reinhard still neeeds fixed Vietnamese in ConTeXt MKII, we'll gladly give him svn account to commit 64-bit linux binaries for minimals, so that he doesn't get out of "the art of compiling TeX binaries exercise" between the long breaks in TeX Live releases. I suggest you to go for D, at least for a moment. The rest highly depends on you. E is not to be taken too seriously.
