Can bcbio customize the user-defined GLIBC directory? about bcbio-nextgen HOT 7 OPEN

Maybe you can simply set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory where the newer version is placed? Like here. (I'm guessing though).

Hi, thanks for your help, I tried that before but unfortunately it didn't work.

You could try to build a newer glibc and use LD_PRELOAD?

Hi there, I tried using LD_PRELOAD but got the following errors:
Strategy 1.
LD_PRELOAD=/PHShome/wj092/miniconda3/pkgs/glibc-2.28-999/lib/libc.so.6 /data/klengellab/tools/bcbio/anaconda/bin/bcbio_nextgen.py

And I got the following error message:
/data/klengellab/tools/bcbio/anaconda/bin/python: relocation error: /lib64/librt.so.1: symbol __vdso_clock_gettime, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

Strategy 2.
export LD_PRELOAD=/PHShome/wj092/miniconda3/pkgs/glibc-2.28-999/lib/libc.so.6 /data/klengellab/tools/bcbio/anaconda/bin/bcbio_nextgen

And I got the following error message:
-bash: export: `/data/klengellab/tools/bcbio/anaconda/bin/bcbio_nextgen': not a valid identifier

The article in the link mentions linking the 'libc.so.6' to an executable app, but I'm not sure whether I did it in a correct way...

from bcbio-nextgen.

linking was to solve a timezone issue.
your second example lacks .py (bcbio_nextgen.py)

from bcbio-nextgen.

Hi, I also tried adding '.py' in the second example:
export LD_PRELOAD=/PHShome/wj092/miniconda3/pkgs/glibc-2.28-999/lib/libc.so.6 /data/klengellab/tools/bcbio/anaconda/bin/bcbio_nextgen.py
But I got the same error message...
-bash: export: `/data/klengellab/tools/bcbio/anaconda/bin/bcbio_nextgen.py': not a valid identifier

from bcbio-nextgen.

Yes, this error I can understand: export sets a variable (or many variables) in the current environment and in the child ones, i.e.

$ export A=5 B=6 C
$ echo $A
5
$ echo $B
6
$ echo $C

(C was set as an empty string variable)

However, if you are trying to set something which is not a valid variable name, i.e. a path to a program, bash errors out.

$ export A=5 ./somebin
bash: export: `./somebin': not a valid identifier

So, I am taking back the previous suggestion, you'd need to get PRELOAD working without export.
