I hope this is the right list for this issue - I couldn't find
another one that was more appropriate.<br>
<br>
I just installed TeXLive on CentOS 5.6 using install-tl, and the
installer chose the x86_64-linux package, which seems correct. If
it matters, I'm using uptex (installed on top of TeXLive using
tlmgr) because I need its Japanese features. That part runs with no
errors on a basic test file, but when I try to run dvipdfmx on the
resulting dvi file, I get the following:<br>
<blockquote><tt>dvipdfmx: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not
found (required by dvipdfmx)<br>
</tt></blockquote>
I'm not a Linux expert, but I know how to use Google. Running "ldd
--version" tells me that I have GNU libc 2.5. One's first thought
might be to upgrade my system so that it has 2.7, but advice to
others in this situation is to avoid changing what's on the given
machine, because libc is finely tuned to go with a variety of other
functionality (I certainly don't want to break other things).<br>
<br>
<b>Is there a build of dvipdfmx that works with glibc 2.5? Or do I
need to build my own?</b> (If so, please give me some
instructions - I can do simple "configure", "make", and "make
install" if the configuration files exist, but if it is much more
difficult than that, I'll need help.) Thanks!<br>
<br>

Aside: Doing this from the command line is just a testing step - I
will ultimately be using PHP to build a tex file dynamically,
calling the needed command(s) to produce a PDF file, and presenting
that to the user. It would be cleaner to go from the layout file
directly to PDF (i.e. pdftex), but I need vertical writing and
UTF-8, which forces me to use uptex, and there is no such thing as
"uppdftex". For testing right now, I wish I could "see" the test
dvi somehow to know that uptex worked okay - I looked through the
commands and spotted two whose names looked promising, but
experimenting with them was not productive:<br>
<blockquote><tt>[root@vps-1011517-5697 ~]# dvi2tty
aozora-utarticle-utf8-1.dvi<br>
dvi2tty: Id-byte is not correct: 3<br>
[root@vps-1011517-5697 ~]# dvipng aozora-utarticle-utf8-1.dvi<br>
This is dvipng 1.14 Copyright 2002-2010 Jan-Ake Larsson<br>
[1<br>
dvipng: Fatal error, undefined DVI op-code 255</tt><br>
</blockquote>
If those errors are documented, I'm not looking in the right place.
Anyway, any guidance is appreciated.<br>
