Davi, This looks to me like you tried installation using e.g. the fc14 installer (that has a glibc "too new" for SL6), and installed with the fc3 on top of that (SL6 works well with the fc13 or lower installer). Since the installers write to the same directory, the fc3 installer finds that the files are already there and does basically nothing that would fix the problem, i.e. replace the binaries and libs. So just remove the /usr/local/phenix-1.8.1-1168 directory (or its contents) before you try a different installer. (Side note: maybe the installer should do that automatically, but there are probably reasons why it doesn't) HTH, Kay On 01/29/2013 12:31 AM, [email protected] wrote:

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@scientifix phenix-installer-1.8.1-1168]# ./install

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, Davi
