./bin/my_print_defaults: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./bin/my_print_defaults)

Hi,

I wanted to install mariadb on RHEL Server release 5.8 (Tikanga).

$ uname -a
Linux vlmmk644 2.6.18-308.8.1.0.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue May 29 20:48:54 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is the binary file i am working.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 maria maria 292388322 Jan 9 10:01 mariadb-10.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz

While creating db i am seeing these issues.

$ ./scripts/mysql_install_db --defaults-file=/fisc/dba/maria/mysql
./bin/my_print_defaults: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./bin/my_print_defaults)
Neither host 'vlmmk644' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with
'./bin/resolveip'
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct
hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script
with the --force option
