Hi all,

I’m trying to fit an INLA model which to this point has been giving very odd results. We’ve previously been using the version of INLA from 2023, which has worked well, but our modelling expert has suggested we upgrade to the latest version.

The reason we’ve been using the old version is that whenever we update to the current version, we’re getting the same issues posted by a lot of people in here, namely the GLIBC error message:

/homeDrive/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.5/INLA/bin/linux/64bit/inla.mkl: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR' not found (required by /homeDrive/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/4.5/INLA/bin/linux/64bit/libresolv.so.2)

I’ve tried using every version of the inla.binary.install() command, but nothing seems to work correctly. I’ve used “sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade” to make sure everything’s up to date, we’re running R 4.5.

Is this a common problem? Is there something I’m missing here that needs to be fixed?

Seems to be solved now! Out of date packages was the issue - updating libc6 and then installing flexiblas seems to have done the trick.
Thanks to Haavard and Finn for helping out.
