Bug report

I'm on OracleLinux 7.9. After successfully installing with:

curl -s "https://get.sdkman.io" | bash
source "/root/.sdkman/bin/sdkman-init.sh"

I then get this error:

[root@oraclelinux79 ~]# sdk help
/root/.sdkman/libexec/help: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /root/.sdkman/libexec/help)
/root/.sdkman/libexec/help: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by /root/.sdkman/libexec/help)

It is also broken with Centos 7. The app install fines but when I run 'sdk version', I get the same errors as above.

Would be nice if we had an easy way to install an older version of sdkman.

@marc0der According to this blog post, the best bet would be to stick to GLIB 2.17 for the forseeable future

I've got an outstanding task to downgrade the Ubuntu LTS version we use to build our targets in the matrix build. We'd have to go as low as 18.04 I think.

If I want to build from source to workaround this, is that possible? The ./gradlew install command in readme seems not working since b02a937

Broken also in Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS. Is it possible to downgrade to a previous version?

[bbossola]

Ah I manage to get it working by executing:

sdk selfupdate force

[marc0der]

This is definitely working on older versions of Linux now. I just installed it on a docker container running Ubuntu 18.04 and it works perfectly.

[marc0der]

BTW, it should have worked without the need for force. It's now required to run the selfupdate command from time to time to get the latest version.

Closing this issue as it was fixed on the native extensions project.
