GLIBC_2.7 not found

Question

I am getting the following error when trying to run several executables:

/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.7\' not found (required by .tools/bridge/bridge)
         


        

Answer 1

The error means that you built .tools/bridge/bridge on a system with glibc-2.7 (or later), and are trying to run it on a system that has glibc-2.6 or earlier.

Linux (and most UNIXes) does not support "build on later, run on earlier"; only the reverse scenario is supported.
