ERROR: unknown glibc version (2.5). makelocalrc

Hi, while installing the PGI Workstation 6.2 in my brand new Opteron, Fedora core 6, the following message appears twice:

ERROR: unknown glibc version (2.5)
ERROR: unknown glibc version (2.5)

Tracing the problem, it seems that the makelocalrc script fails to recognize this version, so I added up the following lines to /tmp/pgi/linux86-64/6.2/bin/makelocalrc (and the linux86 one)

2.5* )
  glibc=232
  LIB=$base/lib-linux86-g232
  LIBLF=$LIB-lf
  INC=$base/include-g23
  ;;

and run again the installation script.

The error are gone and makelocalrc does not complain any more, but
is this sensible to do or am I messing some dependencies with glibc?

Well, folks on this forum claim that the modification you made works.
We will have official support for Fedora core 6 and glibc 2.5 in our 7.0 compilers, due out before the end of the year.

Hi alexavr,

Which version of the compilers are you using? Our latest release, 7.0, should work with RHEL5.
