I went down this rabbit hole trying to get PB 5.72 running on Centos 7 but hit a dead end.
I found this which apparently is what we need:
http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributio ... x86_64.rpm
which depends on lots of things but the main ones are:
http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributio ... x86_64.rpm
http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributio ... x86_64.rpm
but the core depends on:
http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributio ... x86_64.rpm
After installing the preinstall2.3 and then trying to install core I get a hard conflict with an earlier version:
# yum install /tmp/glibc-core-2.30-alt1.x86_64.rpm --skip-broken
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks

Does this mean PB doesn't work with Centos 7x?
(meaning I guess that it doesn't work with RHEL either?)
=================================
I tried running 5.51 and its starts and can compile apps but the UI is flaky, text disappears or in the IDE or the screen goes blank.
Since I wanted to run code from 5.7 and some of the functions have changed it would be a lot of backward modification of source.
does anyone have a fix/workaround for this, or know of the latest working version?
