suitable GLIBC not found on remote server

[elsherbini]

Hello,

I'm trying to open a remote connection to my HPC cluster using positron. When I look at the log I see:

/home/je112/.positron-server/bin/7f0f93873e8b24c9f393bb3586724f4783c5e72c/node: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /home/je112/.positron-server/bin/7f0f93873e8b24c9f393bb3586724f4783c

Is there a glibc 2.17+ version available? Otherwise, is it possible to compile myself and/or run positron-server on a singularity container?

What version of Positron are you using? Like VS Code, Positron requires glibc 2.28.

If you can set up a Singularity container on a newer glibc ( >= 2.28) with an SSH server, you should be able to use it with Positron's Remote SSH feature.
