Hummusjs: Error: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

Can I solve this without replace(upgrade) '/lib64/libc.so.6' ?
Please let me know.
Thanx

$ node

Hi
My answer arrive a bit later. I had a similar problem in centos6/redhat6:

module.js:434
  return process.dlopen(module, path._makeLong(filename));
                 ^

For a fast check I have created an app only with hummus require:

'use strict';
const hummus = require('hummus')

First I installed hummus in a normal way:

npm i hummus

and I got the error shown before with GLIBCXX_3.4.15 problem when executed the app with require.

After investigating a bit, I realized that g++ with C++11 is needed, so I installed it from this repo:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://people.centos.org/tru/devtools-1.1/devtools-1.1.repo 
yum --enablerepo=testing-1.1-devtools-6 install devtoolset-1.1-gcc devtoolset-1.1-gcc-c++

Got from https://superuser.com/questions/381160/how-to-install-gcc-4-7-x-4-8-x-on-centos

Then go to node_modules/hummus and recompile the hummus executable (hummus.node):

sudo npm i -g node-pre-gyp

export CC=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/gcc  
export CPP=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/cpp
export CXX=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/g++

node-pre-gyp configure
node-pre-gyp build

An alternative to exports is passing it at execution time:

env CC=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/gcc CPP=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/cpp CXX=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/g++ node-pre-gyp configure
env CC=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/gcc CPP=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/cpp CXX=/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/bin/g++ node-pre-gyp build

And voila: if we execute again our test app we will see it ends correctly without the GLIB error.

try npm install hummus --build-from-source

I have to figure out how to include src/gcc-preinclude.h so that it will solve the problem.
If you want to help add this line:
"cflags": [ "-include ../src/gcc-preinclude.h" ]
to the various binding.gup's in the project (reckon maybe just adding to the first one might do) like it's done here:
https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/blob/master/binding.gyp

Do this in a nice branch and try to run against travis seeing if you get a built binary that you can use.
your help will be apprechiated.

When I try to run (CentOS 6 (x86_64))

npm install hummus --build-from-source

I get the following

@andrejkaurin, well I don't know what this means. it doesn't say much. maybe there's no build environment there?
there's instructions here https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp to verify that you got a build env.

Re the original issue. One if they users let me know that the issue is resolve when using centos 7, so thats an option.
