java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError in HDFView

Question

Whenever HDFView opens an hdf file which is created by a user or by an application, it shows the following error (I am using Red Hat linux).

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /dwr2/com/lib/libjhdf.so: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /dwr2/com/lib/libjhdf.so)
