1. Checking operating system package requirements ....
Checking for gcc-3.2; found not found. Failed <<<<
Checking for libaio-0.3.96; found not found failed<<<<
2. Checking recommended glibc version error
checking recommended glibc version
expected result: ATLEAST=2.3.2-95.27
actual result: 2.3.2-95.20
check complete. The overall result of this check is: failed <<<<
