Is this correct? SAS Foundation 9.4 M7-9 on RHEL glibc ver

shoin — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 18:30:29 GMT

In SAS Foundation document for Linux, page 4 under glibc section, I think the version is switched around. (Although, 2.12 or above will work per image).

Doc link: https://support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter/en/ikfdtnlaxsr/66396/PDF/default/sreq.pdf

Second item, for RHEL 9.x, glibc for i686 still needed?

glibc-2.28-236.el8.7.x86_64
glibc-2.28-236.el8.7.i686 <--

@shoin - I believe that you are absolutely correct to doubt this.
A google search for "What version of glibc does RHEL 8/9 use" gets it the other way around:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 primarily uses glibc version 2.28
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9 uses glibc 2.34

I will open a documentation ticket to get this fixed. Thanks very much for reporting it.

@shoin - apologies I should have let you know when that update was made.
The doc ticket was marked complete on Jan 2nd, and I overlooked it in the fog of new year.
Again, thanks for reporting it.
