Fixing the glibc 2.14 'not found " error in Wheezy



Now i know that other people have had this problem with other applications and i honestly don't know if this way of fixing it will work for those applications, but in theory it should.

I encountered the error message after Bitcasa updated their Linux headless client, without notifying any users that they did.

They now include a "bitcasa2" package in their repository. i wanted to mount my Bitcasa drive on my server to setup Rsync using SSH to backup my files. My server is running Debian Wheezy and threw the error of the missing glibc 2.14 library at me when i tried to mount my Bitcasa drive.

I had to spend quite some time on solving the issue so i thought that i would share my solution.

First thing i did was to add experimental builds to my sources.list:

nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Then added:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sid main


I then ran and update and installed "libc6-dev":


apt-get update
apt-get -t experimental install libc6-dev

Once done, check the version:


/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

That was it for me. I could then run Bitcasa with the latest Bitcasa2 addition.
