/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found. Why am I getting this error?

Question

I am working in node js. I have installed hummus package. It installed properly. I am using this package for modifying the pdf files. While downloading the pdf I am calling hummus. Onclick of download I am getting this error.

With the help of this link I have updated glibc. But still I am getting the same error. Please help me to find out the issue. I am using CentOs 6.9

Add the output of env on your machine. Also ldd /var/www/html/node_modules/hummus/binding/hummus.node if it works – Owing

I did not understand – Hanser

What is the version of glibc that you have upgraded to? Also, can you provide the output of these commands 1) env 2) ldd --version 3) yum list glibc – Worriment

Did you have a chance to try my answer? – Rhody

I tried but not worked. Now I changed my server to ubuntu. – Hanser

Answer 1

You need to install glibc alongside your current installation of glibc as you cannot update to glibc 2.14 directly in centos 6.x safely. Follow the steps below to install glibc 2.14:

1. mkdir ~/glibc214
2. cd ~/glibc214
3. wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.14.tar.gz
4. tar zxvf glibc-2.14.tar.gz
5. cd glibc-2.14
6. mkdir build
7. cd build
8. ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14
9. make -j4
10. sudo make install
11. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib (for current login session) OR add LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib in the /etc/environment and perform source /etc/environment(to add env variable permanently)

at sudo make install , Can't open configuration file /opt/glibc-2.14/etc/ld.so.conf: – Lodi

at ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14 i got configure: error: in `/root/glibc214/glibc-2.14/build': configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH – Overglaze

@BhartiLadumor Refer this link for more info:#19816775 – Vallejo

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't generally work, for reasons explained here: https://mcmap.net/q/358780/-deploying-yesod-to-heroku-can-39-t-build-statically – Cassareep

To fix: glibc-2.14/build/elf/ldconfig: Can't open configuration file glibc-2.14/etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory I did: cd glibc-2.14/etc/, sh -c "echo 'glibc-2.14/lib' >> ld.so.conf" – Muddlehead

oh my ... everything going well but ... [a@a build]$ ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.33 checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl.exe... no configure: error: in /home/alex-chama/glibc233/glibc-2.33/build': configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See config.log' for more details [a@a build]$ make -j4 bash: make: orden no encontrada Im in arhclinux I think was the same – Debera

Answer 2

To install locally, 8th line in first answer became

../configure --prefix=$HOME/.local

then we do not need the "sudo" in 10th line. i.e.

make install 

is enough.

You might need to

touch $HOME/.local/etc/ld.so.conf

line 11 becomes:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.local/lib"    

in .bash_profile of el6

line 8. ../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14 was erroring out for me

In the end I had to use the following

../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14  libc_cv_forced_unwind=yes libc_cv_c_cleanup=yes

Answer 4

Ok, I can not reproduce this error. However, this could work:

1. Download the whole hummusjs package from the author https://github.com/galkahana/HummusJS (e. g. as zip).

2. Add a new scripts entry in its package.json: "rebuild": "node-pre-gyp rebuild".

3. cd into the package folder at your desktop and run "npm install".

4. For safety delete the .binding and .build folder.

5. Edit the binding.gyp file in the package (new section before 'sources'):

           ],
   #added by 11AND2
   "conditions": [
   [ 'OS=="linux"',
   {
       "cflags": ["-include gcc-preinclude.h"]
   }
   ]],
   #end added by 11AND2
      'sources': [
   

6. Then run npm run rebuild and wait :-)

7. Try the example which failed and report back. You can also execute npm run test to run the module test cases.

Answer 5

Had similar issue while installing python packages:

pip install requests_gssapi
# OSError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/Cellar/krb5/1.20.1/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so)

Reinstalling Homebrew with latest gcc fixed that:

sudo rm -rf /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Linuxbrew/install/master/install.sh)"
brew install gcc
