/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./thermADC)

Hello community,

I have been trying to understand what is going wrong in executing a cross-built eclipse file for Beaglebone black, which takes the ADC values, converts the read value and outputs the converted temperature values onto the terminal screen.

I can successfully compile and build the eclipse file and transfer it to the Beaglebone black, but when i try to execute (the file name is thermADC), i get the following error:

debian@beaglebone:~$ ./thermADC 
./thermADC: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by ./thermADC)

I tried searching up the error on the web, and found similar issues faced by others, but none of the answers or approaches helped solve the issue (or didnā€™t have a solution at all in the first place).

Since the error pointed out to a GLIBC version 2.29 not found, i checked the glibc version on my BBB and the result:

debian@beaglebone:~$ ldd --version ldd
ldd (Debian GLIBC 2.28-10+deb10u1) 2.28
Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The above shows that the GLIBC currently available on the BBB is of version 2.28 and not ā€˜2.29ā€™ as required which would explain the error.

Then i searched for how to upgrade or install glibc with version 2.29 and came across this blogpost and tried as instructed as follows:

  1. Downloaded the glibc-2.29 package tar from gnu.org ( sudo wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.29.tar.gz ) into /usr/local/.
  2. Unzipped the package to a glibc-2.29 folder.
  3. Executed the ./configure command ā€“ ( sudo ./glibc-2.29/configure --prefix=/usr --disable-profile --enable-add-ons --with-headers=/usr/include --with-binutils=/usr/bin ) and the result is as follows:

which makes me believe that the configure step is done without any errors (there were few warnings of some of the packages not being installed on the system in a previous try to configure, so installed those said packages on BBB before performing a clean build).
4. Next step is to execute the ā€œmakeā€ command in the /usr/local/ directory and this is where i am facing the issue as follows:

Can someone please help with what might be causing this issue?

Thanks and Regards,

Just build your application locally on the BBBā€¦ Or Cross build with the same major version of Debian, instead of a random cross compilerā€¦

Regards,

Hi Robert,

I am cross-compiling application for BBB, running Debian Buster LXQt Image 2022-01-01, in Eclipse IDE and the cross-compiler is setup according to the steps given by Derek Molly in Exploring Beaglebone Black.
The host PC is a Ubuntu machine running Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS.

I have not faced any issues before with other applications that were built in Eclipse IDE, other than this one, and the issue might be caused because of ā€˜logā€™ function and math lib, libm, since that is the cause of the GLIBC_2.29 not found.

Is there anything that can be done other than native compiling on the BBB?

How to achieve this? Is there any post which can be taken as a reference?

Thanks.

Simpleā€¦ Install Debian Buster (10.x) on your host (or in virtual) instead of Ubuntu 20.04.04 LTS to do your cross compilingā€¦ Or even older Ubuntu Bionicā€¦

GLIBC: is always a fun dependency users run into, whenever they use a ā€œsystemā€ newer then the ā€œtargetā€ā€¦

Ubuntu Bionic (18.04) shipped with GLIBC: 2.27
Debian Buster shipped with GLIBC: 2.28
Ubuntu Focal (20.04) shipped with GLIBC: 2.31
Debian Bullseye shipped with GLIBC: 2.31

This is the way GLIBC has always done it, and every new Ubuntu release, users like you will try to build against and run into problemsā€¦

Simply if you want to use our Buster images, either use Ubuntu Bionic or Debian Buster to do your cross buildingā€¦ Otherwise feel free to switch to our Bullseye images, in which case you can use all ā€œ4ā€ to cross buildā€¦

Regards,

Hi Robert,

Thank you so much for your help.

I shifted to using Debian Bullseye on BBB, and the issue was resolved.

Thanks a lot.

Regards,
Yash

Hi
is Debian Bullseye will support BBB AM3358 ?

can you please share me the link for GLIBC version iĀ“m looking for GLIBC 2.32

Hi,

I have similar Issue , but differerent version GLIBC

IĀ“m trying BB Black with ARM AM3358B Compiled in VM ware with ubuntu 19.0 with eclipse cross compilation
when i transfer my binaries to BBB i got this error

But I have GLIBC 2.32 not Found

there is no later version for ARM Cpu debian version availble to support GLIBC 2.32
and compiler is Gnu arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc 10.2

Any leads will be apprecierad

GLIBC_2.32

Hi @kalidas ,

Doesnā€™t it seem odd, that you are using Ubuntu with an ā€œarm-poky*gccā€ cross compiler to build an application for Debian Bullseye?

Since you are already using VMā€™s just install Debian Bullseye as a VM and use the native version of gcc to cross compile you application without jumping thru hoops of a random cross compilerā€¦

Regards,

Hi @RobertCNelson ,
Thank you for quick response.
iĀ“m not really sure i have Debian Bullseye into My BB Black AM3358 target
beaglebone .org Home page recomonded Debian Image was

AM3358 Debian 10.3 2020-04-06 4GB SD IoT

here i got version details

i have succesfully flashed Debian bullseye from the link you have shared but still does not solve my issue
i still see the needed by `GLIBC_2.32ā€™ not found (required by ./StartApplication_D05) but exist 2.31

That is expected. The arm-poky-linux-gnueabi-gcc toolchain you used to build your application is ā€˜stillā€™ too newā€¦ Use the toolchain provided by Debian 11.x (Bullseye)ā€¦
