Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/238

Is there a plan for CentOS 6 support or it is not possible to run firejail because of libc on CentOS 6?

root@local []# rpm -i firejail-0.9.36-1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.14)(64bit) is needed by firejail-0.9.36-1.x86_64
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.15)(64bit) is needed by firejail-0.9.36-1.x86_64
root@local []#

Thanks.

You would need a Linux kernel 3.2 or newer installed on the box. There are also some compilation problems due to some header files in glibc. If you get around to compile it and install a new kernel, it should be fine.

I have a Linux 4 kernel + grsec patch - build from source. I will try to compile it with some workarounds. Thanks :)

Can you clarify what version of CentOS this was compiled / validated against? Using 6.6 it appears still broken as it still requires GLIB 2.{14,15} as given above.

No, the download version built on CentOS 7. I'll have to update the web pages, thanks!

Couldn't find the source rpm. Patched the spec file for libtracelog.so and version. Recompiled from 0.9.38 source. It worked, the binary however had other problems:

[root@mrcoffee firejail]# firejail
Error mkdir:fs_build_firejail_dir(69): No such file or directory
[root@mrcoffee firejail]#

Strace indicated it trying to create /run/firejail and hardcoded.. That directory only exists in CentOS 7. Silly replace on them all and rebuilt.

Binary builds and runs. I can't vouch for anything else it may have broken though. Patches available but they are fairly trivial.
