Currently, I’m working with cypress (JS testing framework), and for that I build a nix-shell using this article:
https://www.fbrs.io/cypress/
I use buildFHSUserEnv, because cypress not working with mkShell. Cypress works great, but for all other commands, I receive this:
clear: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.34 not found (required for clear)
I can’t execute pretty much any command/tool including “clear”. Any ideas?
You’ll want to use LD_PRELOAD and point it to glibc 2.34+.
What’s the underlying issue?
An older version of glibc is being loaded first, which brings in older glibc symbols. Then some other tool is linked against a newer version of glibc, and tries to ensure that a compatible glibc is being used. Glibc is only backwards compatible, not forwards.
I want to execute for example emacs in my nix-shell, but I can’t.
I saw a potential solution for this issue, which is to add steam-run to nix-shell, but I see the same error.
