Hi Guys. I’ve compiled the rethink rpm package on CentOS 7.3 successfully (using this script: https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/blob/next/scripts/build-rpm.sh). Everything compiles fine. But when I go to use the rpm to install on exactly the same machine, I get this error:

Error: Package: rethinkdb-2.3.5_11_ga3b90f-29875.x86_64 (/rethinkdb)
           Requires: glibc >= 2.172.17
           Installed: glibc-2.17-157.el7_3.1.i686 (@updates)
               glibc = 2.17-157.el7_3.1
           Available: glibc-2.17-157.el7.i686 (base)
               glibc = 2.17-157.el7

Any ideas?

@tennis what is the result of rpm -qa --queryformat '%{VERSION}' glibc?

[2:19]
@tennis Did you build an x86_64 rethinkdb for your i686 system?

tennis [2:21 PM]
@AtnNn I Got it figured out.. There are multiple glibc libs on my machine (i.e. 32 and 64 bit). So the output of rpm -qa --queryformat '%{VERSION}\n' glibc (note the newline) is:

2.17

[2:21]
Without the \n, the output is:
2.172.17

atnnn [2:22 PM]
Oh, that's a sneaky bug.

tennis [2:23 PM]
yup. I have to confess I didn’t figure it out on my own. But either way, we know the problem now. I’m happy to issue a pull request against the rethinkdb repo. Which branch should I request a pull into?

atnnn [2:25 PM]
Either v2.3.x (future 2.3.6) or next (future 2.4)

tennis [2:26 PM]
ok. Thanks
