The recent build of blender for linux only supports glibc219. Does anyone have any idea where to find a build for glib211 and does the blender foundation intend to just publish builds in Linux that support only glib219?
they leave all the old releases up for a reason, you know.
if a linux build does not run out of the box, report it,
sounds like a build dependency issue.

Which Linux distribution are you trying to build Blender in?
You can try my custom build build.

It is still compiled with 211, hope it works for you.
