glibc 2.14 dependency #244

flip111 · 2014-01-13T21:56:04Z

I don't know for sure that i'm in the right place here. But i hope i am. My OS (Debian Wheezy) has glibc 2.13 as latest stable, see: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libc6

2-3 months ago i installed a node app (ghost blog) which installed fine. Now it has a dependency on 2.14 which i don't have. Is it possible to downgrade the dependency and rerun?

The relevant error message while doing npm install:

> sqlite3@2.1.19 install /var/node/blog/ghost/node_modules/sqlite3

springmeyer · 2014-01-13T22:55:42Z

You are in the right place. Thanks for the report.

First off: if it's not clear: your build log above shows that node-sqlte3 installed okay in the end. It recovered from the GLIBC_2.14 not found error and fell back to a source compile which worked.

But the GLIBC_2.14 not found error is a problem for users that try to install and don't have a compiler available.

The short answer is hang tight: I am working on a new release sqlite3@2.2.0 that should solve this. It would be great if you could test. I'll let you know when its ready.

Long answer is: This error is points to a limitation of the binaries I provide for linux in that they are currently built on ubuntu precise and therefore only support systems like ubuntu precise or more modern. The standard way to support linux systems with older glibc/etc is to build binaries on an old machine. Because I'm working on automating current a future binarines on travis.ci I'm going to test a hackish approach to working around this, which I've committed in da0800b.

Problems before this can be closed:

- need to ensure it works on debian (is not yet): https://gist.github.com/springmeyer/1b1517fcb369e9dedae6
- need to ensure this is fixed: more vocal about testing error mapbox/node-pre-gyp#16

francescozaia · 2014-01-14T23:07:41Z

Just for the records: I am having the same issue on CentOS 6 (stuck on glibc 2.12) :(

0xafbf · 2014-01-26T19:12:58Z

this happens to me with an Amazon Linux, is there any workaround I can use?

wilsolutions · 2014-02-06T17:06:51Z

FYI: same problem here, yes it get installed on the end but I have the "GLIBC_2.14 not found" error as well.
I am using a CentOS 6 VM: /lib64/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.12.so

springmeyer · 2014-02-06T22:44:32Z

Thanks for the report @wilsolutions. This is still something I need to find time to solve.

darky · 2014-02-15T19:30:47Z

heroku cedar stack fails too (2.11.1-0ubuntu)

darky · 2014-02-15T20:23:23Z

Although, if you not store node_modules in git, heroku compiled to the working state (but ugly with errors)

szepeviktor · 2014-04-26T21:32:01Z

Solution

apt-get install build-essential
and it will compile itself

mandeepsimak · 2014-04-28T09:16:22Z

I was getting same problem on Debian server. Then I updated the version of libc6 using following steps:

Add the following line to the file /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main
Update your package database:
sudo apt-get update
Then install libc6
sudo apt-get install libc6

Hope this gonna help.

szepeviktor · 2014-04-28T10:34:31Z

It is not advised to touch libc!
Almost every package depends on it.

mandeepsimak · 2014-04-28T12:21:12Z

I tried many solutions but that doesn't work and then I updated the version.

soyuka · 2014-07-03T08:26:58Z

Ran into this while trying to install ghost.

On debian squeeze I did:

add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

sudo apt-get install libc6=2.19-4 gcc-4.4=4.4.5-8
npm i sqlite3

yinchuan · 2015-03-02T10:14:01Z

Problem still exist on CentOS 6.6。Any updates?

springmeyer · 2015-03-02T10:20:59Z

@yinchuan - The workarounds are:

Upgrade to CentOS 7.x (which has a recent enough libc to work out of the box with the node-sqlite3 binaries)
Or, build with npm install sqlite3 --build-from-source which will trigger compiling node-sqlite3 from source (requires a compiler environment and python be installed as per node-gyp deps: https://github.com/TooTallNate/node-gyp#installation)

yinchuan · 2015-03-02T10:26:24Z

Thanks! I have installed this from souce.
Any plan to fix this with CentOS6 or other old linux?

No, no plans to change this: basically binaries are only going to work on linux as modern as Ubuntu precise because that is what Travis.ci uses, and we use Travis.ci to build binaries. I don't see this changing to support older linux that ubuntu precise - if anything we'll up the requirement more in the future. So, I'm going to close this with the recommented workaround being "npm install sqlite --build-from-source" (or if sqlite3 is a dep of another app, just do npm install --build-from-source)

springmeyer · 2015-05-04T20:23:12Z

solved by #444, will be fixed in v3.0.6

adebree · 2015-07-27T13:09:15Z

Seems to be reintroduced with node-sqlite3 3.0.9?

fdn · 2015-08-01T05:43:45Z

@adebree +1. Version 3.0.8 works for me. 3.0.9 spits this error.
