SummaryWhen attempting to start MarkLogic Server on older versions of Linux (Non-supported platforms), a "Floating Point Exception" may prevent the server from starting. Example of the error text from system messages:
DetailOlder Linux kernels will, by default, utilize older libraries. When a software product such as MarkLogic Server is built using a newer version of gcc, it is possible that it will fail to execute correctly on older systems. We have seen it in cases where the glibc library is out of date, and not containing certain symbols that were added in newer versions. Refer to the RedHat bug that explains this issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=482848 The recommended solution is to upgrade to a newer version of your Linux distribution. While you may be able to resolve the immediate issue by only upgrading the glibc library, it is not recommended. | |
