As of JDK 9, JavaFX requires RHEL 7 or later, so no, there is no support
for RHEL 6. It would be a moderate effort to add this (mostly in the
build scripts and particularly in the way the native media libraries are
built). We have no plans to add this support.

Hi. I’ve been directed to forward this query to this address by Gluon support.
Here’s the query:
Our company makes a desktop application in Java. We have invested quite heavily
in switching our application to JavaFX over the last few years. We're now
trying to switch (from Oracle Java 8) to use java 11 with openjdk and openjfx.
It all seems fine except if I want to run our application on Linux RHEL 6. Then
I get errors about unsatisfied links to do with glibc version, while trying to
initialise the graphics. We've reached out to our customers and those that run
linux are pretty much all still on RHEL 6 and have no plans to move. I've
looked about on the internet and can't find any solution to this problem. Are
there any plans for addressing this in future versions of openjfx?
Let me know if you need anything more.
