GLIBC version not found (required by ./compiler_gym-llvm-service)

❓ Questions and Help

I am trying to install CompilerGym on the school cluster with GLIBC_2.17. I am able to pip install CompilerGym, but when I run:

compiler_gym.make("llvm-v0") # or gym.make("llvm-v0")

I am getting the error:

 ./compiler_gym-llvm-service: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by ./compiler_gym-llvm-service)
./compiler_gym-llvm-service: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by ./compiler_gym-llvm-service)

Since GLIBC is the core library of OS, it is hard to install it without sudo rights. Do you know the way this problem could be bypassed?

It sounds like your school's cluster is running an older OS. Currently we only support fairly recent distros. Your two options are:

1. Build from source on the school OS.
2. Run inside a container like docker.

The second option may be easier.

Cheers, Chris

Thank you, Chris, this makes sense. I ended up creating a container that works as expected :)

Glad to hear!
