FAHViewer 7.6.9/7.6.13 missing GLIBC_2.25 on Ubuntu 16.04

[alextoind]

Hello there,

As reported in https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-issues/issues/1454 when I launch FAHViewer from a terminal it prompts out:

Code: Select all

FAHViewer: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by FAHViewer)

What should I check to solve this issue?

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 which apparently is shipped GLIBC_2.23: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/glibc
And this happens either with 7.6.9 or 7.6.13.

Looks like this is some error with python 3?

It might be, but Ubuntu 16.04 is shipped with python 3.5 (https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python3)

As far as I know FahViewer must run with python 2

Originally 16.04 shipped with Python 2.7 and Python 3 both.

Apologize for the late reply.

Yes, of course there's also Python 2.7 in Ubuntu 16.04, but the problem here is the required GLIBC version.
I don't know if this problem is similar to the one reported on SO, but there is no way to get GLIBC 2.25 on Ubuntu 16.04 without hacks.
