Error with pyrevolve - ImportError: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found

Hi,
I'm getting the following error when I try to import modules from Devito:

Python 3.10.6 (main, Oct 24 2022, 16:07:47) [GCC 11.2.0] on linux

I have no problems when I work on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS, but I get the above message on CentOS Linux 7 (Core).
From conda list:

devito                    4.7.1+183.gf65800404     dev_0    <develop>
pyrevolve                 2.2                      pypi_0    pypi
python                    3.10.6                   haa1d7c7_1

A colleague of mine is working with the same system and he has never faced this issue using

devito                    4.6+118.gb5d6185         dev_0    <develop>
pyrevolve                 2.2                      pypi_0    pypi
python                    3.9.7                    h12debd9_1

A check of the installed glibc version by using ldd --version command shows ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.35-0ubuntu3.1) 2.35 on Ubuntu and ldd (GNU libc) 2.17 on CentOS.

Is this problem due to the version of python and/or Devito? Does this error means that the older version of Devito (4.6) works with glibc 2.17, but Devito 4.7.1 does not?

Thank you. Best regards,
FM

Since this is an issue with pyrevolve that is now an optional dependency, this should be closed and reopenned in the pyrevolve repo.
