VSCode on Rackham - not working currently!!!

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/faq#_can-i-run-vs-code-server-on-older-linux-distributions

Starting with VS Code release 1.99 (March 2025), the prebuilt servers distributed by VS Code are only compatible with Linux distributions that are based on glibc 2.28 or later. These include for example, Debian 10, RHEL 8, or Ubuntu 20.04.

To continue running newer version of VSCode remotely over SSH on Rackham, please, add these 3 lines into your ~/.bashrc on Rackham.

export VSCODE_SERVER_CUSTOM_GLIBC_LINKER=/sw/apps/pm-tools/latest/rackham/x86_64-gcc-8.5.0-glibc-2.28/x86_64-linux-gnu/x86_64-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib/ld-2.28.so
export VSCODE_SERVER_CUSTOM_GLIBC_PATH=/sw/apps/pm-tools/latest/rackham/x86_64-gcc-8.5.0-glibc-2.28/x86_64-linux-gnu/x86_64-linux-gnu/sysroot/lib:/lib64
