Error running VG

[hgz2021]

Hello, I installed the latest version of VG with Conda. The installation went well, but there was a problem typing vg -h FATAL: kernel too old Aborted (core dumped)

How old is your kernel? What does uname -a say about it?

The static binaries we distribute on the releases page should run on Linux 3.2 or later, which is from around 2012, although we don't actually test that far back. I believe that Conda builds their own binaries, though, and I can't vouch for what Linux versions they support.

You should be able to use file $(which vg) to inspect the binary, and it will tell you what version of Linux it ought to work on. Our releases look like:

vg: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=556f81232dabefed5605f53ec9f47cb6ecacf881, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

Command

vg]$ ./vg --version FATAL: kernel too old Aborted (core dumped)

vg]$ file $(which ./vg) /xxx/software/VG/vg/vg: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, not stripped

vg]$ uname -a Linux admin 2.6.32-504.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 15 04:27:16 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Is it because my Linux kernel version is too old?
