I’m trying to run my python script on my Ubuntu 18.04 but when I try, I get the following error:
OSError: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /home/user/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/opencc/clib/lib/libopencc.so.1.1)
Which is that one of the modules I use (opencc) needs GLIBC 2.29 or superior.
Ubuntu “standard” version is 2.27, so I checked if I could install the updated but I can’t.

I downloaded libc-bin_2.30-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb and tried to install with sudo dpkg -i libc-bin_2.30-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb but also errors out due to lack of lib6:amd64…

Hi @RaphaelDDL,
By default, the highest version of GLIBC for Ubuntu 18.04 should 2.27. You have two options to continue :
The first option is to migrate your application to a system that supports GLIBC higher than or equal to 2.29. This would mean a lot of work though. It seems Ubuntu 19.04 actually uses that version.
The second option would be to actually build your GLIBC from source using the version you want or need. I’ve researched it a bit and found a website which actually gives you the steps for you to build the package from source :
Take a look at it and decide how it would be best for you to proceed.
