Version `GLIBC_2.29' not found error while running in pipeline

[Divya-Shanmugamb]

Hi,

I am getting the below error, while running in the pipeline

npm error prebuild-install warn install /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found

Version of better-sqlite3 in package-lock is 11.2.1.

Note: The pipeline is failing for past 6 days.

The error message states that your OS does not have the required GLIBC. What OS are you running the pipeline on?

This is happening running inside the node:lts-buster docker image.

Well, Debian 10 ships with GLIBC 2.28. Also it reached it's EOL 2 years ago.

So you can either try to somehow install GLIBC 2.29 within the container together with the required tool chain to build the native part of the library, or just switch to a supported and maintained version of Debian.

Same issue I got in my Next.js project. I had to update to node 20.x in Vercel

[neoxpert]

Beside the missing GLIBC 2.29 or higher, what is an issue of the used OS, [email protected] requires a C++20 compatible compiler, due to the requirements of V8. As some older compilers don't know c++20 but only c++2a as a compiler level, this would requires changes in the whole project setup and I don't think building workarounds for outdated compilers is something desirable.

So you can either try to use an older (prebuilt) version of better-sqlite3, that does not require GLIBC 2.29 or higher or C++20 when compiling on demand, or you just update the runtime environments to up to date libraries if possible. Otherwise it would be up to you, to setup the required compilation toolchain within the target runtime / container.

For future reference – you can set Node version either:

• Project Settings > General > Node.js Version, or
• Put "engines": {"node": "20.x" }, to package.json
