/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found

Trying to run flow on a CI server with a locked down version of Linux I'm running into the following issue:

... /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /app/build/teamcity/buildAgent/work/80d783801ddcf26/node_modules/flow-bin/flow-linux64-v0.32.0/flow)

... /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /app/build/teamcity/buildAgent/work/80d783801ddcf26/node_modules/flow-bin/flow-linux64-v0.32.0/flow)

It seems that the highest we can support is GLIBC_2.12 - does anyone know what is depending on this and if it really is required to have GLIBC_2.14 or GLIBC_2.15?

@axeopa That doesn't really answer anything, though. It just discusses the fact that CentOS6 only provides GLIBC_2.12, as the correctly OP indicates. I'm hitting the same issue, and would like to know why we need GLIBC_2.13 or above.

@teotwaki
I was faced with issue when I was trying to build new android app using new Android SDK 25, and build tools version 24.**
And we had centos6 based docker container to build it on, and when I created new docker container (still centos6 based) but with new SDK 25 and build tools, I was faced this issue very first time. More that, using manuals, I created one more docker contained with preinstalled GLIBC_2.13 or 2.15 do not remember. (used scripts in dockerfile from stackoverflow), but it did not solved my issue, still saw the error. Then I created new docker image, based on centos7 image, installed there all needed Android SDKs, build tools, others stuff and that finally solved my problem ... hope it helps

@teotwaki
In my case, looks like Android SDK 25 required glibc_2.13 or above

@axeopa I'm trying to build software for CentOS6, so moving to CentOS7 isn't really an option. Glad you got it sorted, though.

[oreststetsiak]

@teotwaki , describe your situatin, what/how are you building, which tools are you using

Same issue here. :P

building flow-bin from source did not work for me

[fagerbua]

Version 0.50.0 at least builds fine on CentOS 6.9 (building Flow directly and not via flow-bin). I've put the binary as well as a draft build-script in a repo here: https://github.com/fagerbua/flow-builds-centos-6.9
Perhaps that might help other people who're stuck with a CI server running CentOS or RHEL 6.
