Upgrade of JRE from JRE1.6 U24 JRE1.7 U7, we are undergoing some issues in
881208Nov 14 2012 — edited Dec 17 20121. When we try to upgrade our JRE from JRE1.6 U24 JRE1.7 U7, we are undergoing some issues in Linux platforms.
2. The OS from where we are trying to upgrade JRE is RHEL 3.8 – 32 bit and RHEL 4.6 – 64 bit
3. Is there any limitation with JRE1.7 OS support?
4. Did we break the backward compatibility of OS support matrix when we upgraded to JRE1.7?
When we execute the java in RHEL3.8 and RHEL 4.6 we are seeing the below error message
./java -version
Error: dl failure on line 864
Error: failed /usr/local/MegaRAID Storage Manager/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so, because /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /usr/local/MegaRAID Storage Manager/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so)
Please let us know why are we experiencing the above issue and the root cause for this issue. From the OS support matrix:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/config-417990.html
we see nothing w.r.t. RHEL 3.8 or 4.6.
What we understood from the above link is if user wants to upgrade to JRE1.7.x, we are expecting him to give away the backward compatibility of OS support?
If my understanding is correct, wont this be an issue from JRE1.7.x support front?
