Phantomjs: Phantomjs 2.1 binary not working on CentOS 5

I'm almost certain that PhantomJS will not gonna be supported on CentOS 5.x
See also #12773

[felipebrahm]

@iradul, I asked @ariya if this was on purpose and he told me to create a new issue for this. If the plan is not to support CentOS 5 then feel free to close this issue (and maybe this could be added to the release notes or something).

[ariya]

I can reproduce it using CentOS 5.11:

$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS release 5.11 (Final)
$ wget -q https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 -o phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
$ tar jxf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
$ cd phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64
$ bin/phantomjs -v
bin/phantomjs: /lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available (required by bin/phantomjs)
bin/phantomjs: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found (required by bin/phantomjs)
bin/phantomjs: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by bin/phantomjs)
bin/phantomjs: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.9' not found (required by bin/phantomjs)
bin/phantomjs: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.10' not found (required by bin/phantomjs)
bin/phantomjs: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7' not found (required by bin/phantomjs)

[ariya]

Seems that the libraries are too old for PhantomJS binary:

$ strings /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6|grep GLIBC
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.0
GLIBC_2.3.2
GLIBC_2.4
GLIBC_2.1
GLIBC_2.1.3
GLIBC_2.2
GLIBCXX_FORCE_NEW
$ strings /lib64/libc.so.6|grep GLIBC
GLIBC_2.2.5
GLIBC_2.2.6
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.3.2
GLIBC_2.3.3
GLIBC_2.3.4
GLIBC_2.4
GLIBC_2.5
GLIBC_PRIVATE

[ariya]

There is this discussion "Can RHEL5 use GLIBCXX_3.4.9 or newer?" at https://access.redhat.com/solutions/38031. Unfortunately it is only available to RedHat subscriber.

[gkrsman]

I have the same issue. Is there any previous version which support CentOS 5?

[vitallium]

You can look at old downloads at https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads

But all new versions will be compiled with a newer GLIBC version.

[ariya]

It will be unlikely that we offer something that can work with old GLIBC. I'll update the documentation.

[EFF]

I haven't tried it yet but it seems like the Medium folks managed to make it work on CentOS 5 : see phantom-prebuilt npm package or the github repo

[ariya]

@EFF Negative. That text on Medium repo is outdated (from PhantomJS 1.9). Please bug them to update it!

[blingerson]

Anyone know if it works on the latest CentOS?

[EFF]

Centos 6+ if I remember right. Got it working on aws lambda which is based
on centos6

I'm having the same problem with CentOS 7:

# wget https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-i686.tar.bz2
# tar -xvf phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-i686.tar.bz2 
# mv phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-i686/ phantomjs-2.1.1
# cd phantomjs-2.1.1/bin
# ./phantomjs -v
 ./phantomjs: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Notes: zlib is installed, so are all font libraries
