Perhaps you weren't using the x86_64-linux version - the 32-bit version 
probably expects an earlier version of glibc.

Okay, I got that and ran Build/source/Build.  (I have no idea what 
"without xindy" means, though.)  It says it finished.  According to 
http://www.tug.org/texlive/ I should now have a new directory called 
Build/source/inst with a bin/i686pc-linux directory that I can copy 
files from to the real usable spot.  But all the  I have a new directory 
called Build/source/Work which doesn't have any directory in it like 
inst or bin or anything else obviously useful at this stage:

    [root at vps-1011517-5697 Work]# ll
    total 1428
    drwxr-sr-x  3 root root   4096 Apr 14 22:19 auxdir
    -rw-r--r--  1 root root 947383 Apr 14 22:44 build.log
    -rw-r--r--  1 root root  59461 Apr 14 22:19 config.log
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  72626 Apr 14 22:19 config.status
    -rw-r--r--  1 root root      2 Apr 14 22:44 exitstatus.txt
    drwxr-sr-x 15 root root   4096 Apr 14 22:31 libs
    -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 298872 Apr 14 22:19 libtool
    -rw-r--r--  1 root root  32920 Apr 14 22:19 Makefile
    -rw-r--r--  1 root root   2030 Apr 14 22:19 subsubdir-conf.cmd
    drwxr-sr-x  4 root root   4096 Apr 14 22:20 texk
    drwxr-sr-x 12 root root   4096 Apr 14 22:44 utils

Can you tell me the next step, or point me to a webpage or documentation 
file that applies to this situation?

Thanks,
Karen
