issue with libm.so.6 version

gifuzzz commented 3 years ago

I'm using ubuntu server 20.04 on a rapsberry pi 4. I installed sharp via npm i sharp, but when i require it, it gives me this:

/home/ubuntu/node/wabot/node_modules/sharp/lib/constructor.js:32
  throw new Error(error);
  ^

Error:
Something went wrong installing the "sharp" module

/snap/core/current/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /home/ubuntu/node/wabot/node_modules/sharp/build/Release/../../vendor/8.10.6/lib/libvips-cpp.so.42)

- Remove the "node_modules/sharp" directory then run
  "npm install --ignore-scripts=false --verbose sharp" and look for errors
- Consult the installation documentation at https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/install
- Search for this error at https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues

I have a little idea: sharp checks just the directory /snap/core/current/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ in with the file libm.so.6 is linked to libm-2.23.so, which is an older version. In /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/, instead, the file libm.so.6 is linked to libm-2.31.so.

Hi, you'll probably need to work out why the system runtime linker (and not sharp) is looking for shared libraries in /snap/core/current/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ before it looks in /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/.

Things to consider include: Is node running via snap? Is it configured correctly? Could you have set a custom LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

There are similar reports on unrelated bug trackers and repos so this is very likely to a problem with your local setup.

Is node running via snap?

Yes, it was running via snap. I removed it and installed from binary and now all works correctly!
