Bat requires glibc 2.18 - CentOS 7 only offers glibc 2.17

[jm-pro]

On CentOS 7.4.1708, when trying to run bat, there is a GLIBC version problem error

/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.18' not found (required by ./bat)

CentOS 7 only offers glibc 2.17

Fixed in v0.2.3.

I just ran into this too at work :-/

CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core)
bat 0.6.1 from the releases page

Any idea?

@eddelbuettel Please use the statically linked version of bat that uses musl instead of libc (the *-musl* tarballs/deb-packages).

[eddelbuettel]

Ok. Could you pretty-please label the musl ones as statically-linked? I would have picked them.

When I came across musl (via tickets to my projects) it was mostly about surviving with a minimal libc, not static builds --> not obvious.

[sharkdp]

Yes, good idea. Could you please open a new ticket, so we can track this? Thank you.
