Running Grid Engine on an OS with a bleeding-edge version of glibc? The following (taken directly from here) may help:

Responding to a question about which versions of Linux would support a particular version of Grid Engine, Ben had this to say in his reply:

"...The only thing you need to change for this to work properly is ${SGE_ROOT}/util/arch, since only glibc up to 2.5 is defined as "supported" in that script, and Fedora 8 ships with glibc 2.7. Change the glibc check (around line 248) from 3|4|5) to 3|4|5|6|7)".

This is good advice in general for people running operating systems that may ship with versions of glibc that are "newer" than what the SGE developers are using in their lab and build facilities.
