[phenixbb] Unable to install phenix 1.8.1-1168 on Scientific Linux 6.3 64 bits

[Davi de Miranda Fonseca]

Dear all,

I am unable to install phenix 1.8.1-1168 on Scientific Linux 6.3 64 
bits. Hence, I would greatly appreciate any 2 cents (or diamonds).

I installed Scientific Linux 6.3 64 bits, updated everything and 
installed a couple of things that I think would be necessary. Then I 
uncompressed phenix-installer-1.8.1-1168-intel-linux-2.6-x86_64-fc3.tar 
to /tmp and tried to install, however I got some errors. Hence, I 
installed a couple more things and tried installing again.
This time it went through most of the installation but failed during the 
configuration of phenix packages.

**** Here is my shell output:

[root at scientifix phenix-installer-1.8.1-1168]# ./install

/usr/local/phenix-1.8.1-1168/build/intel-linux-2.6-x86_64/base/bin/python)

By the way, Scientific linux 6.3 comes with glibc 2.12.

It might be too naive from me, but would it be possible to copy 
libc.so.6 from glibc-2.14 somewhere and use an option during the 
installation to point to it? Any better ideas? (Like a step-wise 
description used in successful installation of phenix in Scientific 
Linux 6.3 64)

Thank you for your time and help.

Cheers,
