Not working on Centos 6.5

[rakesh8081]

I am trying to build latest possible curl version using nix-bundle for centos 6.5. The build was done on a Ubuntu 18.0 VM running on Windows. It works pretty fine where it was build, here are the outputs

rakesh@rakesh-VirtualBox:~/src/github.com/nix-bundle$ md5sum ./curl 
4eb3f636f1617114f9df298f761c7bc6  ./curl
rakesh@rakesh-VirtualBox:~/src/github.com/nix-bundle$ ./curl --version
curl 7.64.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.64.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2r zlib/1.2.11 libssh2/1.8.0 nghttp2/1.36.0

rakesh@rakesh-VirtualBox:~/src/github.com/nix-bundle$ 
rakesh@rakesh-VirtualBox:~/src/github.com/nix-bundle$ ldd ./curl
    not a dynamic executable
rakesh@rakesh-VirtualBox:~/src/github.com/nix-bundle$

however when I use the same binary in a Centos machine running on aws, it doesn't work. The outputs on Centos is as below:

root@ip-10-xxx-8-xxx tmp]# md5sum ./curl
4eb3f636f1617114f9df298f761c7bc6  ./curl
[root@ip-10-xxx-8-xxx tmp]# ./curl --version
unshare(): Invalid argument
[root@ip-10-xxx-8-xxx tmp]# 
[root@ip-10-xxx-8-xxx tmp]# ldd ./curl
    not a dynamic executable
[root@ip-10-xxx-8-xxx tmp]#

so the question is what exactly went wrong. Please let me know for any additional logs.

Does the centos machine support user namespaces? Is this possibly the same issue: https://github.com/lethalman/nix-user-chroot/issues/9 (nix-bundle uses nix-user-chroot)

[rakesh8081]

I believe it does. But clearly the kernel version is not >3.x. Some outputs for more reference.

Can you check what the other setting mentioned in that bug is (assuming it exists on your system)

cat /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces

[rakesh8081]

The file don’t exist in system.

[root@ip-172-30-14-129 ~]# cat /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces

cat: /proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces: No such file or directory

[root@ip-172-30-14-129 ~]#

[root@ip-172-30-14-129 ~]# locate max_user_namespace
