"Cannot figure out the GLibc version." when trying to source profile.lsf

  • 1.  "Cannot figure out the GLibc version." when trying to source profile.lsf

    Posted 04/13/23 09:20 AM

    Hi Everyone,

    I'm trying to set up lsf community edition to see how it would work in our environment, but after installation, I always get the "Cannot figure out the GLibc version." error and exits. Any ideas as to why? The installer detects the glibc tar.Z during installation.

    We are running Ubuntu 22.04.2 on the HWE kernel.

    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Hi Kurt,

    The fix is to chmod +x /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 on the impacted hosts.  There was a change in the permissions between 20.04 and 22.04 that resulted in it not being executable which the profile.lsf script relied on.

    Longer answer is that 22.04 support isn't officially in fix pack 13 and will be introduced in fix pack 14.  I reported the bug back in May 2022 and it was fixed in September but thus far there isn't a bug fix patch just a "wait for FP14 to drop" answer.  Lucky for us our only Ubuntu hosts are a few submit hosts so manually fixing them as they came up has worked.  I don't know how long until FP14 will make it into the community edition after it drops.
