Portability of pre-compiled Linux binariesThe basic set of HEASOFT pre-compiled Linux binaries was built under Scientific Linux version 7.6 using its default compilers (GCC 4.8.5), and many of the tasks link dynamically with libgfortran.so.3 and libstdc++.so.6, among others. Since the requisite versions of these libraries may not be available on all platforms, or, if available, may not include the same set of symbols, users may run into errors like the following when running ftools:
error while loading shared libraries: libgfortran.so.3:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
or
undefined symbol: _gfortran_internal_malloc
or
libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.5' not found
To rectify this problem, we have created a patch for our Linux binaries
containing the Fortran and C++ that our binaries require.
