Release binaries after 4.13.0-0.okd-2023-09-30-084937 are broken on Alpine Linux

[CVanF5]

Not sure if intentional, but we deploy OpenShift via automation, and the machine we use is Alpine Linux 3.18.

version 4.13.0-0.okd-2023-09-30-084937 works fine version 4.13.0-0.okd-2023-10-28-065448 and later cannot be executed.

I wouldn't have expected a date release bump to break on musl based OSes.

# tar xf openshift-install-linux-4.13.0-0.okd-2023-09-30-084937.tar.gz

# ./openshift-install version

Is openshift-install anywhere to be found after the extraction of the compressed file?

If so, try making it executable:

chmod +x ./openshift-install &&
./openshift-install

[CVanF5]

Yes, the binary is there, and it already has execute permissions. Here's an example with the latest release, really easy to repro with Docker

If we add libc6-compat we get a little farther

/ # apk add libc6-compat
/ # ./openshift-install
Error loading shared library libresolv.so.2: No such file or directory (needed by ./openshift-install)

It just seems like musl compatibility was lost during between version 4.13.0-0.okd-2023-09-30-084937 version 4.13.0-0.okd-2023-10-28-065448

Run the following command mentioned in this comment and try again:

apk add gcompat

That did it! Thank you @codespearhead Closing as resolved
