Hi Anuj_isro,

Given PGI 10.3 was released almost 10 years ago, it’s not unexpected that it would fail to install on Ubuntu version 18.04. The underlying system directories on Ubuntu have changed quite a bit since then and libc.so.6 is now located under “/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu”. While we can edit the makelocalrc script to find libc.so.6 in this directory, the glibc version is too new so is not compatible with this old version of PGI.

You’ll need to either install a Linux version from this (such as Ubuntu 9) or install a more modern version of PGI, such as 19.10, that supports Ubuntu 18.04.
