Debian Linux glibc error (any ideas)?

[x000111]

I just tried starting Spotify about 4 times. I am running stable Debian with Gnome 3. Then when I ran it from the command line I got this error:

spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by spotify)
spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /opt/spotify/spotify-client/Data/libcef.so)
spotify: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /opt/spotify/spotify-client/Data/libcef.so)

Before I really start to do some digging, is there already a solution to this issue?

There's a lot about it in this thread: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Help-Desktop-Linux-Mac-and/Spotify-0-9-10-for-GNU-Linux-Welcome-to-t...

Start at the last page and browse backwards.

Well, I figured that I might have to downgrade. It looks like that is the case for now. Right now, I am thankful for play.spotify.com. Thank you for providing the resources.

Is there any way to notify the Spotify tech team about this?

They really just need to recompile Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) and use version 2.13 of the glibc library.

I had this exact problem when I was using CEF, and it's fixed by just compiling on the earlier version..

ha, kind of funny, I was just working on some Linux-client packaging stuff today and ran into this error when dependency testing in a deboostrap chroot... and this thread is now among the top google hits for "debian /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found".

Anyways, I just wanted to post here that we are aware of the issue and working on a solution. I agree that the solution mentioned in the other thread is a bit invasive; we just need to work out a solution that makes our build and CEF's build both happy.

BTW @chisser98, building CEF with GLIBC 2.13 is not really as easy as you'd think:

I guess the version of clang used to compile CEF needs at least 2.14. So it's sadly not a very trivial problem to resolve, but we are looking into potential solutions/workarounds.

[chisser98]

Ahh, interesting.  I recompiled CEF with GCC on Debian 7 without issues, but I never tried with Clang.  Good luck! 🙂

I had to  resolve this problem with

echo 'deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free' >> /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update && apt-get install -t testing libc6

from https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/2020
