importing tf-seal ends with 'GLIBC_2.29' not found error

[Netanel-f]

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.4 I have installed tf-seal with both binary custom tensorflow and with locally compiled version, on two virtual environments, using Python's virtualenv and conda. All scenerios installed the library successfully but when importing tf_seal it throws NotFoundError:

Hi @Netanel-f, any chance it could be something similar to this: https://forum.juce.com/t/glibc-2-29-not-found-on-ubuntu-18-04/34960/9 ?

Hi,

I have the same issue - Python3.7 virtualenv, (Not Conda). When compiling the custom TF from sources (assuming branch c++17), I can't import tensorflow:

module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'compat'

When installing the pre-built binary, I get the same error as @Netanel-f , but the complaint is on another version -

version `GLIBC_2.28' not found

P.S. I'm running on an Azure Ubuntu 18.04 VM in case it matters (uname -r: 5.0.0-1036-azure, lsb_release: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS).

@mortendahl - as for the issue you refer to, if I understand it correctly this is about x86/ x64 mismatch, right? I tried to verify the installations - looks like all the packages are properly x86_x64. I verified and this is also the actual architecture.

Thank you!

I have the same issue. Have you guys solved it?

I also have the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04. I really want to use tf-seal...

As far as I knew, this error is related to the version of c++. I would like to know the exact system requirements to run tf-seal.

@Wixee Thank you so much!!! By install the custom tensoflow and tf-seal you provided, I could successfully run tf-seal on my Ubuntu 18.04!!!
