python 3.36 doesn't work

[saladin]

I've triple-checked to verify that I have all dependencies, and all dependencies of dependencies, but when I try to run it, I get the error:

Code: [Select]

python3: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /usr/local/lib/libpython3.6m.so.1.0)
When I browse extensions, there are hundreds of matches with "libc" in the name. Which do I need?

[coreplayer2]

Normally we use the APPS > "Provides" function to find the extension containing missing libraries

But  libc.so.6  doesn't appear to exist in the current tc-9 repo

Hi coreplayer2
That's because  libc.so.6  is part of the base system of every Linux install and is found in  /lib.

[saladin]

So then why doesn't it work? Does this mean there's something wrong with my ISO?

Hi coreplayer2

Doh!  I missed that Thanks Rich

tc@box:~$ sudo find / -iname "libc.so.6*"

Hi saladin
Running  ls -l  on  libc.so.6  I get this:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ ls -l /lib/libc.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Nov 16  2011 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.13.so
tc@box:~$I'm running a much older version of Tinycore so my libc version is 2.13. What do you get if you run that command?

According to this:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,21605.0.html
It says:

Changelog for 9.0 alpha1:
* kernel updated to 4.14.10
* glibc updated to 2.26
* gcc updated to 7.2.0
* e2fsprogs base libs/apps updated to 1.43.7
* util-linux base libs/apps updated to 2.31

So if you are running TC9 and python is hardcoded to look for version 2.25, that could be the problem.

Hi, glibc usually is built with backward compatibility to a wide range of versions.
I believe the OP is most likely using an older version of TC that does not support GLIBC_2.25.

Hi polikuo

... I believe the OP is most likely using an older version of TC that does not support GLIBC_2.25.

That's definitely another possibility. That would suggest the OP is using extensions from a newer repo in an older installation.

Hi saladin
What version of Tinycore and which architecture are you running?

[saladin]

That's really strange. I thought I was using Core 9.0, which I downloaded maybe two weeks ago. I re-downloaded, just to be sure, and now everything works fine. I guess somehow I ended up using an older version that I had downloaded months back?

[Rich]

Hi saladin
So I'm guessing that you manually downloaded  python  and its dependencies instead of using  Apps  or  tce-load.

[saladin]

Yeah, I just think it's a bit of a hassle having to connect to the internet and re-download everything every time I reboot. I will eventually remaster, once I have everything configured the way I want it, but until then, I like keeping my extensions on a disk.

Hi saladin

Yeah, I just think it's a bit of a hassle having to connect to the internet and re-download everything every time I reboot.

Most people have a  tce  directory where extensions are stored so they don't have to keep downloading them. I'd like to
recommend you take an hour to read this:
http://tinycorelinux.net/corebook.pdf
It will provide you with some insight on the ins and outs of Tinycore.

[saladin]

Thank you for that. That'll definitely make things easier.
