The future of the CLEX YUM repository (11-APR-2011, updated 13-APR-2011)

Unfortunately it is not possible to provide a precompiled version of CLEX that will run on all recent RPM based Linux distributions. We don't have resources to maintain a large number of repositories. For these reasons we find the current form of the repository not really helpful and will discontinue it in the near future.

The main difficulty is that even with statical linking the shared library from the glibc version used for linking is required at runtime. This is a limitation of the glibc. More information about this issue can be found in the Documentation.
