GLIBC_2.29 not found

GLIBC_2.29 not found

(Jin Qing’s Column, Nov. 4, 2021)

My Rust program failed when running in docker:

root@a26b49c91efb:/myapp# ldd libmyapp_py.so
./libmyapp_py.so: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./libmyapp_py.so)

The problem is because I build in “rust:1.56”, and run in “debian:buster-slim” which is quite old. Run dpkg -l libc-bin shows the libc version is 2.28:

C:\Users\jinqing01>docker run debian:buster-slim dpkg -l libc-bin

Using the latest “debian:bookworm-slim” solved the problem.
