Recent Stockfish engines - cannot run on Linux - help request

[royb]

For over two months now, Stockfish engines put up for download on github are not able to run on my Linux Mint 20.2 system. I get these errors when I try to run them:

./stockfish_22010217_x64_avx2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by ./stockfish_22010217_x64_avx2)
./stockfish_22010217_x64_avx2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by ./stockfish_22010217_x64_avx2)
./stockfish_22010217_x64_avx2: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ./stockfish_22010217_x64_avx2)

The last SF engine I downloaded that does run on my system is from Oct 31, 2021.

I thought upgrading my system to Mint 20.3 might help, but that did not solve the problem. If anyone knows how to fix this, please post here, and thanks in advance!

a quick google search https://superuser.com/questions/537683/ ... -not-found
mint has old packages, you're better off compiling it yourself

I have Linux Mint 20.3 and it has glibc 2.31 (use command ldd --version). On Ubuntu 21.10 glibc is 2.34.
You can create your own executable on Linux Mint or ask someone to create an executable on linux with glibc 2.31 or lower.

Anyway, the executable I downloaded (avx2 version) from the stockfish page does not give me an error for glibc on Linux Mint 20.3.

If you want to try this version of stockfish 14.1 compiled on Linux Mint 20.3 with gcc 9.3 and glibc 2.31...

Interesting. That makes me think that when I upgrade from one Linux Mint version to a newer one, the upgrade process is not taking care of things like glibc getting updated, which I believe is an oversight in the upgrade process. I will create a new instance of Linux Mint from scratch and see what version of glibc I get that way.

Thanks to all who responded to my query on this thread!
