Describe the bug Unable to install rpm on RHEL 9.4

Expected behavior Install success

Logs

rpm -i globalprotect-openconnect-2.3.7-1.x86_64.rpm

error: Failed dependencies: (libayatana-appindicator or libappindicator-gtk3) is needed by globalprotect-openconnect-2.3.7-1.x86_64 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.38)(64bit) is needed by globalprotect-openconnect-2.3.7-1.x86_64

Additional context I was able to get over libappindicator-gtk3, but not glibc2.38 issue even know file is there, but version is 2.34

glibc-2.34-100.el9_4.2.x86_64 : The GNU libc libraries Repo : rhel-9-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms Matched from: Filename : /lib64/libc.so.6

I believe this is easy to reproduce also on CENTOS 9.

any advice ?

Hi @xoroz you may need to follow the steps here to install it because the rpm package is built on a relatively newer OS and requires a newer libc.

1. Download globalprotect-openconnect_${version}_${arch}.bin.tar.xz from releases page.
2. Extract the tarball with tar -xJf globalprotect-openconnect_${version}_${arch}.bin.tar.xz.
3. Run sudo make install to install the client.

That worked but...

$ sudo make install

None of the commands execute because they are for the wrong CPU architecture

$ gpclient
bash: /usr/bin/gpclient: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
$ gpclient launch-gui
bash: /usr/bin/gpclient: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

I downloaded the x86_46 arch to match my CPU architecture

$ arch
x86_64

Edit: Ignore this. I downloaded the wrong tar.xz for my arch. It works great!

Thanks, I'm closing this.
