How do I install Anaconda from source like every other package in the word? I am unable to find a standard source tar with a standard ./configure script.

I have tried editing the .sh file to point to my non-root linker in /nfs/xyz/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 and using LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH by removing the “unset LD\_LIBRARY\_PATH” line with no luck.

I can install most linux packages like cmake and python on my toolchain and they work just fine. But, when I try to install Anaconda it defaults to the root /lib/ linker and complains about the GLIBC version (the whole reason I have my own toolchain).

Is there an easy way to override the .sh file’s linker path without corrupting the silly appended tar file?

Miniconda3-py310\_23.1.0-1-Linux-x86\_64.sh: line 354: /nfs/xyz/usr/anaconda3/conda.exe: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

conda.exe looks like: ^?ELF^B^A^A^@etc…/nfs/xyz/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2^@etc…

cat /etc/os-release  
NAME=“SLES”  
VERSION=“11.4”

(you can see why I need a custom toolchain with a newer GLIBC version)
