***@***.**** commented on this gist. ------------------------------ Hey, I did that. Now when I try to install something, eg npm I am getting the following notices: ** Found 2 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows: glibc-2.12-1.212.el6_10.3.i686 has missing requires of glibc-common = ('0', '2.12', '1.212.el6_10.3') glibc-2.17-55.el6.x86_64 is a duplicate with glibc-2.12-1.212.el6_10.3.i686 What to do? did you fix that issue? I'm also having the same two errors after installing the fix :) — You are receiving this because you commented.

Figured it out!!
I'm new to rpm package commands and just need to pass "--force --nodeps" options to rpm command, update was successful.

root@bse [/usr/local/lib]# rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps libstdc++-4.8.5-44.el7.x86_64.rpm

@hao - Thank you for posting this solution!! You saved lot of time!!

WARNING

This will brick many things in your Centos 6 distro, and there is no clean way to go back without knowing all symlinks before you install these.
If you are trying to do something with python that complains about requiring glibc over 2.12, consider using pip version 19 (pip install pip==19), it will use the manylinux2010 (based on Centos 6) wheels and may have c binaries for your system.

If you are compiling c binaries that need glibc > 2.12 its better to install glibc in a seperate folder and use PATH (LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.17/lib)to link to it instead

Thanks for the suggestion! We built latest python 3.9 on CentOS 6 but it was giving error that unable to load libc.so.6, so had to configure LD_LIBRARY_PATH and works

Here is my variant based on @sluge's variant: https://gist.github.com/jhult/3c0d7cb5febb2348aa2166c0342e4fd1
