Dart on CentOS 6.5

I'm trying to get dart up and running on a CentOS 6.5 machine. The furthest I got so far was getting Dart Editor 64 bit up and running. When clicking run in Dartium, I get the following error: "Could not start pub serve or connect to pub"

When running Dart from command line, I can see the following error in the command line:

!ENTRY com.google.dart.tools.core 4 0 2014-12-12 12:22:51.067 !MESSAGE Pub list failed, /home/grim/Apps/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart: /lib64/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /home/grim/Apps/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart) /home/grim/Apps/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart: /lib64/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /home/grim/Apps/dart/dart-sdk/bin/dart)

Doing a ldd -v /bin/sh I can see that I'm running version 2.3 which is newer than 2.14:

Do I need to downgrade GLIBC (I'm guessing not recommended?) or would a simlink to the newer version be sufficient to fix it?

Update: Looking at the simlink, I can see I'm actually on 2.12:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Dec  9 11:03 /lib64/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.12.so
