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.

Hope that help
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.
