Ah, I didn't realize that the C library version had changed in recent Linux distributions. (It had been the same for several years.) That's a pain. The distributions at https://download.racket-lang.org/ are built with an old enough Linux distribution to be portable in practice. So, using that build is one option. Currently, I guess you're building your own Racket executable on Ubuntu 19.10. That's the point where you can elect to statically link: - If you're building from the source distribution, add LDFLAGS=--static to your `configure` line. - If you're building from a Git repo checkout, add CONFIGIRE_ARGS_qq="LDFLAGS=--static" to your `make` line. In an existing tree, you'll need to delete "racket/src/build" to ensure that it's rebuilt. Make sure the "libffi-dev" package is installed, because the makefiles for the bundled libffi do not like `--static`. I'm not sure how well statically linking to the C library will work. I get several linker warnings like this one: warning: Using 'getgrgid' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking For this reason and others, I'm surprised that other language implementations statically link to the C library, but it's difficult to keep track. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
