nrfutil requires GLIBC_2.29

[Michal]

Hi,

I am trying to run nrfutil as part of our CI/CD in gitlab. This is a command to install nrfutil:

wget -O /opt/nrfutil https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/nrfutil/x64-linux/nrfutil  && ls /opt && chmod +x /opt/nrfutil

It seems to install fine however I am getting error:

nrfutil: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by nrfutil)

Any ideas why I am getting this? One way is to build and install glib from source, but going that path I am just getting more and more dependencies and it seems like I cannot install glib=2.29 from apt.

Hi, 

Which Linux distribution and version are you using?

Hi Amanda,

I have this line a docker: FROM ubuntu:18.04, so I assume version 18.04 but distrubtion?? Do you think decreasing ubuntu version could help ?

Hi, 

Increasing the version to Ubuntu 20.04 should work if you can do that. We currently officially support only Ubuntu 20.04. It might work on Linux distros with glibc version >= 2.29, but not distros with older glibc versions. Ubuntu 18.04 seems to have glibc version 2.27.
