Hey y'all, been trying to get isolated-vm 5.0.2 running with our Amazon Linux 2023 distro and keep coming across the same issue when we deploy to Elastic Beanstalk.

Error:

Details

Distro:

Node.js 22 running on 64bit Amazon Linux 2023/6.4.0

Packages:

• isolated-vm > 5.0.2
• builder.io/sdk > 3.0.0
• nextjs > 14.2.18
• nodejs > 22.0.0

Things I've tried:

1. Adding a .ebextension config to force install a newer version of gcc (gcc-12) -- fails due to not being able to be found

• Tried doing dnf and yum for the installs, just reports back that the package cannot be found
• Logged out the GLIBCXX versions and I get all the way to 3.4.29, but not 30 😞

3. Redeploy the distribution multiple times -- thought maybe with 5.0.2 and another issue reporting that they rebuild it using gcc-11 that would fix it, but no difference
4. Try to rebuild the isolated-vm project with gcc-11 instead of the default -- came across a ton of build errors just trying to get it compiled to the out directory. That is just my naivety with node-gyp, I kept getting syntax errors and that is why I just opened an issue as I didn't see another report of this with this linux distribution on AWS

Please let me know any details or other items I provide! ❤️

This is only other issue I saw with this with an update from a few weeks ago: #509

If you feel this is a dupe, I'll just thread into that one.

@kaceycleveland seems to have figured out a workaround and its using the .platform/hooks/prebuild option with elastic beanstalk.

.platform/hooks/prebuild

apt-get update -y
apt-get install -y g++ libstdc++6

Precompiled binaries in v5.0.3 should work on this platform now. I tested it personally via the amazonlinux:2023.6.20241010.0 docker image but let me know if it does not work.
