This often occurs when you build software in RHEL 7 and try to run on RHEL 6.

To update GLIBC to any version, simply download the package from

https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libc/

For example glibc-2.14.tar.gz in your case.

1. tar xvfz glibc-2.14.tar.gz
2. cd glibc-2.14
3. mkdir build
4. cd build
5. ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14
6. make
7. sudo make install
8. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Then try to run your software, glibc-2.14 should be linked.

For another instance of Glibc  download gcc 4 7 2  for instance from this github repo  although an official source would be better  and extract it to some folder  then update LD LIBRARY PATH with the path where you have extracted glib   export LD LIBRARY PATH  glibpath glib-2 49 4-kgesagxmtbemim2denf65on4iixy3miy lib  LD LIBRARY PATH export LD LIBRARY PATH  glibpath libffi-3 2 1-wk2luzhfdpbievnqqtu24pi774esyqye lib64  LD LIBRARY PATH export LD LIBRARY PATH  glibpath pcre-8 39-itdbuzevbtzqeqrvna47wstwczud67wx lib  LD LIBRARY PATH export LD LIBRARY PATH  glibpath gettext-0 19 8 1-aoweyaoufujdlobl7dphb2gdrhuhikil lib  LD LIBRARY PATH   This should keep you safe from bricking your CentOS     Disclaimer  I just completed the thought it looks like the OP was trying to express  but I don t fully agree

Naive question  Is it possible to somehow download GLIBC 2 15  put it in any folder  e g   tmp myglibc  and then point to this path ONLY when executing something that needs this specific version of glibc    Yes  it s possible
