The following worked for me:

@OCopping is this working for you?

I think I need to document that c7 -pd is the equivalent of turning it off and turning it back on again

@MJGaughran mentioned it could be down to me compiling Python 3.10 on my RHEL 8 system (pc0127), so the libraries aren't available to c7

Hi Ollie, yes that sounds like a thing. Could you just use module load 3.10 instead?

If not then you need to do that compilation of 3.10 inside of dev C7 for it to work in dev C7 I would guess (but then it won't work outside)

You also MIGHT be able to yum install the missing GLIBC versions inside your dev-c7 container. You could make your own image based off of dev-c7 to do so (if you want to try this and need some help then let me know)

@OCopping is this issue resolved?
