Compatibility with Red Hat Enterptise Linux (RHEL)

What is the current target with regards to RHEL compatibility? When I try to run the latest installer on a system with RHEL 8, I get:

/tmp/installer.eiH3AHPG6P: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/installer.eiH3AHPG6P)

Is this intentional? What is the last version of Crossover that supports RHEL8?

PS: I don't have root access, so I cannot use the RPM.

Good morning Julius.

FYI, I just got the same message on a plain/out-of-the-box Debian Stretch 9.13.0 32-bit version.
Steps taken were only those described for the binary install.

    wget http://crossover.codeweavers.com/redirect/crossover.bin
    chmod +x crossover.bin
    ./crossover.bin

Message:

    /tmp/installer.xdSlbwZ3ab: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /tmp/installer.xdSlbwZ3ab)

Try checking your installed GLIBC, this is what I got:

    ldd --version

    ldd (Debian GLIBC 2.24-11+deb9u4) 2.24

In conclusion, this appears to be normal behaviour for older Linux versions.

I hope this helps.
