Docker 1.3 fails to start on RHEL6.5
docker, rhel6
Solution
/usr/bin/docker: relocation error: /usr/bin/docker: symbol dm_task_get_info_with_deferred_remove, version Base not defined in file libdevmapper.so.1.02 with link time reference
I ran into this at work this week (also on RHEL6.5). I believe the lib-device-mapper that you have isn't exporting a symbol ("Base") that Docker needs. I solved this by upgrading lib-device-mapper to version 1.02.90.
You may have to enable the `public_ol6_latest` repo in order to get this package.
`sudo yum-config-manager --enable public_ol6_latest`
And then install the package:
`sudo yum install device-mapper-event-libs`
Problem
I had earlier followed https://docs.docker.com/installation/rhel/ to install docker on rhel6.5. This used to work till today, till I decided to run "yum update" and upgraded to docker1.3. Now, /etc/init.d/docker start fails. ``` -bash-4.1$ sudo /etc/init.d/docker status docker dead but pid file exists ``` Contents of /var/log/docker: ``` -bash-4.1$ more /var/log/docker \nSun Nov 30 23:29:14 IST 2014\n 2014/11/30 23:29:14 docker daemon: 1.3.1 c78088f/1.3.1; execdriver: native; grap hdriver: [dd907331] +job serveapi(unix:///var/run/docker.sock) [info] WARNING: You are running linux kernel version 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64, whic h might be unstable running docker.
