[CIG-SHORT] Can PyLith work with GLIBC version 2.12 ?

[Brad Aagaard]

Josimar,

Only the PyLith binaries (which are not intended for use on a cluster) 
have limited GLIBC compatibility. If you build from source, then the 
only restrictions are that the dependencies (e.g., HDF5, PETSc, and 
NetCDF) be versions with interfaces compatible with the calls from 
PyLith. This compatibility is insured if you use the PyLith Installer 
utility to build from source.

Regards,
Brad
