GLIBC 2.4 Not Found -- Unrar

FlintyVamp · 10-07-2007, 01:11 PM

Hello,

I am fairly new to linux and I'm trying to install Unrar on Debian Etch. I has installed successfully but when I try to extract or archive something I get >
"/usr/local/bin/rar: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /usr/local/bin/rar)"

Any ideas?

I've done a few searches but the other threads seems to go unanswered.

Thanks,
FlintyVamp

Install libc6 which should also install linux-libc-dev or something.

Im getting the same/similar problem:

A screenshot of the problem.
http://img.skitch.com/20090318-xnx8f...4wrrduqunk.jpg

Im getting this error:
./unrar: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./unrar)

And I already have "libc6 is already the newest version."

And im running:
Linux 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Aug 5 08:46:32 EDT 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
Debian GNU/Linux 4.0

Any thoughts?

Try instead installing unrar-free with apt.

Techno Guy · 03-19-2009, 02:46 PM

But unrar-free only unrar's right?
I need to rar files, so i need "rar" (don't I? or is there another way?)

ops, sorry I just had a look at my other post and indeed I was trying to install unrar (my mistake sorry)
But yea I want to install RAR, which still gives the same error: ./rar: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./rar)

BTW, I did manage to get "RAR 3.60 Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Alexander Roshal 5 Aug 2006" installed, but that version is sooooo old, so I wanted to upgrade.

Code:

:~$apt-cache search ^rar
librarian-dev - Rarian is a documentation meta-data library (header files)
librarian0 - Rarian is a documentation meta-data library (library package)
rarian-compat - Rarian is a documentation meta-data library (compatibility tools)
rarpd - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol daemon
rar - Archiver for .rar files
rar-2.80 - Archiver for .rar files

:~$apt-cache policy rar
rar:
  Installed: 1:3.8.0-2
  Candidate: 1:3.8.0-2
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.8.0-2 0
        930 ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org testing/non-free Packages
        990 ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org unstable/non-free Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:3.8b3-1 0
        700 ftp://ftp.fi.debian.org stable/non-free Packages
:~$locate libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.6

So why not "apt-get/aptitude install rar".
Or try doing a symlink "sudo mkdir /lib/tls && ln -s /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/tls/libc.so.6"
Otherwise you could compile the source the debian way if you really want to compile it. Plenty on google of compiling debian binaries.

It doesn't come up in my search, maybe im missing something in my "sources.list"?

sources.list:

Code:

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib

You could get rar from here http://packages.debian.org/etch/i386/rar/download and install with "dpkg -i rar_3.7b1-2_i386.deb".
Add non-free after main and contrib in sources.list and see if rar appears.
You should choose whether to use apt-get or aptitude. The commands would then have been:
"apt-get update"
"apt-get install rar"
Can you see rar with policy after apt-get update?

Techno Guy · 03-21-2009, 07:19 PM

Thanks makuyl, I upgraded to Debian 5 (Lenny) and added the non-free source to my sources.list and rar installed fine.

Thanks again for your help!

makuyl · 03-22-2009, 04:07 AM

No problem. Good move anyway to upgrade.
