The latest cli (1.32.0-245) cause "ERROR SHARED stderr {"data": "Error: /lib64/libstdc++.so.64: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21` not found"....

[Michaelvll]

Description

Hi, the above problem raised when "Starting shared process[x/5]", after I update my code-server cli from 1.31.1-100 to 1.32.0-245. It works properly when using the former version. I am wondering whether the latest cli depends on different C++ library from the former one?

PS: The message is:
INFO Starting shared process [1/5]...
ERROR SHARED stderr {"data":"Error: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by /path/to/my/home/.local/share/code-server/dependencies/spdlog.node)\n...

I was getting a similar, though not exactly the same, error before. What OS are you on? I got the error on Ubuntu 14.04 but not when I used 16.04 instead. The specific error I was getting is described in this SO question.

[mbeattie]

This error is because your os's version of libstdc++ doesnt contain the latest symbols. You'll need to upgrade the that package (or perhaps the OS) to fix it. You might be able to get away with building it yourself, but I have been having trouble getting that to work also.

[absudabsu]

I'm on Centos 7, just installed/upgraded to latest libstdc++ offered, same issue.

I encountered this same error when trying to build code-server in a CentOS docker image here.

[Michaelvll]

I don't sudo privilege on my server (actually a cluster) and cannot update the libstdc++. I am wondering if it is possible to release a pre-build that compiled using library with lower version. By the way, the system on my server is CentOS Linux release 7.3.

[jwshields]

Neither my Debian Jessie machine, nor my CentOS 7.5 machine are able to run the server. I've updated with yum/apt and installed a number of the devtools (yum) and various glibc/libstdc/gcc packages to no avail.

For me, I have that problem even when building on centos 7. I would have assumed that building there would build with the present glibc/glibcxx in mind. But apparently it's pulling binary dependencies in that would ruin this.

What to do now? :)

[krazyito65]

Cry? /s

not sure.. I'll poke around again.. I know I had this exact issue but I ended up fixing it at some point..

---

$ npm --version
6.9.0
$ node --version
v8.15.0
$ yarn --version
1.13.0

maybe npm update? npm install -g npm

[krazyito65]

OH i remember now... I have

$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib

Maybe try doing unset $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ? Or if you can find the right lib you can point it to it.

---

/usr/lib/oracle/12.2/client64/lib --- I have this becasue I use it for my SQLplus installation

[sinni800]

I found out that this problem is (for me) caused by the "spdlog.node" binary. I ended up rebuilding that binary from the repo at https://github.com/Microsoft/node-spdlog... And while I have no idea about how to look into the build process of this project, I presume it doesnt build that binary itself but rather downloads it as a dependency (I mean, my system doesnt HAVE a 3.4.21 GLIBCC header to build with, so this has to be the case).
Building node-spdlog does NOT take long at all (a few seconds) so I would suggest that this project should build it itself (it also builds a lot of stuff with gcc compiler in general, so adding this would make the builds more OS independent)

EDIT: At the same time, I somehow ruined everything and through cleanups and all, it wouldn't build the cli-linux-x64 binary anymore (which is code-server), but that's unrelated to this issue
