Are you running node_exporter in Docker?

What did you do that produced an error?

What did you expect to see?

What did you see instead?

Same for: Linux 3.10.0-693.el7.x86_64

Interesting, do you have the usual gcc environment set up on these machines? I don't recall ever having to install a package for pthreads, but it's been ages since I did C.

Could also try CGO_ENABLED=0 and see if that helps.

I got it working after installing glibc-static.

Thanks,
Dave

Why is this not coming with CentOS ?
Good job finding the problem. It works for me too now.

@djc2k I could not install glibc-static on RHEL. Did you need a RHEL subscription to enable it?
