GLIBC_2.32 not found?

[biona001]

In a cluster environment, I specified the following in ~/.julia/environments/v1.12/Project.toml

[RCall]
Rhome = "/apps/rocs/cedar/2020.08/cascadelake/software/R-base/r4.5.0-foss-2020a/bin/R"
libR = "/apps/rocs/cedar/2020.08/cascadelake/software/R-base/r4.5.0-foss-2020a/lib64/R/lib/libR.so"

Then I tried building RCall.jl, but I'm getting a weird GLIBC_2.32 not found error

I tried to fix this with the help from chatGPT, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Did you try:

Try adding /apps/rocs/cedar/2020.08/cascadelake/software/R-base/r4.5.0-foss-2020a/lib64/R/lib to the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" environmental variable and restarting Julia.

[biona001]

Yes I did 🙂

And R otherwise runs fine on that cluster? Seems like an issue with libR.so not finding the right glibc.
