Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEItueAuk/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found

Question

I've installed minidcos using below command

curl --fail -L https://github.com/dcos/dcos-e2e/releases/download/2019.10.10.0/minidcos -o /usr/local/bin/minidcos && \
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/minidcos

when I try to find the version after install to check everything is working fine I get below error -

    $ sudo minidcos --version
    [21667] Error loading Python lib '/tmp/_MEItueAuk/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /tmp/_MEItueAuk/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)

I've libc.so.6 in the required path

        $ ls /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ | grep libc

How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

You can fix this issue in two ways. First of all, check your GLIBC version by running this command:

ldd --version

Most likely your GLIBC version is less than 2.28. Now you could either upgrade the OS, I would say try Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, or you could lower down the minidcos version. Here I would recommend using version 2019.06.19.0 which is compiled with the lower version of GLIBC.

Answer 2

Remove the installed docker-compose:

if you're in bash terminal:

$ rm $(which docker-compose)

Or in fish terminal:

> rm (which docker-compose)

Go to releases page of Docker Compose:

https://github.com/docker/compose/releases

Download the source code (I've download the compose-2.2.3.tar.gz file at the bottom of the list). Extract its content and make your own build:

cd $HOME/Downloads
tar -xvf compose-2.2.3.tar.gz
cd compose-2.2.3
make

The output compose-2.2.3 of compilation proccess will be placed into a created directory bin. You can run the generated file to check if it's working:

bin/docker-compose version

I use to run docker-compose from my $HOME/.local/bin directory so I did:

mv bin/docker-compose $HOME/.local/bin/
docker-compose version

That's it.
