Re: [HTCondor-users] Sudden death of a Rooster

[Tim Theisen <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Steffen,

Replacing the just the Rooster would be very difficult. We don't 
guarantee any ABI compatibility between shared libraries between condor 
versions. So, if you have a 25.x.y Rooster, you would need a wrapper to 
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to pick up the corresponding libraries. 
Additionally, the defect is actually in the ClassAd library.

If you a stuck with condor 24.6.1, you may be better off building a 
patched 24.6.1.

Details about the defect are in the ticket:
