/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./bomb)

Question

I have got the executable bomb, but this error is preventing me to execute it. Please help!!!

I tried installing glibc 2.31 (which was successful). But the error still exists.

Answer 1

The error means: ./bomb binary was built on and requires GLIBC-2.34 or newer.

I tried installing glibc 2.31 (which was successful). But the error still exists.

GLIBC-2.31 is not "2.34 or newer", what did you expect?

Your best bet is to install docker image with GLIBC-2.34 (or newer) and run the binary in that docker container.

It is possible to install GLIBC-2.34 into an alternate location without using docker, but any mistakes you make could render your system un-bootable, so I don't recommend this approach.
