Install of required versions of glibc and gcc on RHEL CentOS

RHEL/CentOS 6.6 and below have an outdated version of glibc and gcc, you can make ARK server works manually upgrading these libraries:

prerequisites

yum groupinstall "Development tools"
yum install glibc-devel.i686 glibc-i686

glibc

cd /tmp
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.16.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf glibc-2.16.0.tar.gz
cd glibc-2.16.0
mkdir glibc-build
cd glibc-build
../configure --prefix='/usr'

We have to fix a little typo, so run:

nano +171 ../scripts/test-installation.pl

and replace if (/$ld_so_name/) { with if (/\Q$ld_so_name\E/) {

then install it:

make
sudo make install

gcc

This operation takes a lot of space! be sure to have enough!

cd /tmp
wget ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/gcc/releases/gcc-4.6.4/gcc-4.6.4.tar.gz
tar -xvzf gcc-4.6.4.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.6.4
./contrib/download_prerequisites
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
../configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.6.4
make
make install
mv /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.bak
mv /opt/gcc-4.6.4/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
mv /opt/gcc-4.6.4/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.16 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.16
