'`GLIBC_2.34' not found' error after upgrade 12.0.0 on Linux OS

How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

Hello,
Thank you for developing realm. After upgrading to the recently released version 12.0.0, I started receiving the following error message.

(see below section)

The version immediately before, 11.10.2, had no issues.
I'm using realm in NodeJS 16.17 + Electron 25, and I'm using Linux Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

However, this issue also occurred with the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS + NodeJS 18.17.1 combination. Also the problem occurs both with and without database encryption.

Is there a solution to this?

Thanks.

@jooy2 Thank you for reporting. While we investigate, you can try some of the suggestions in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71940179/error-lib-x86-64-linux-gnu-libc-so-6-version-glibc-2-34-not-found

Thank you for your quick response.

Upgrading glibc manually from previous Ubuntu releases was beyond my capabilities, as I've always had problems upgrading glibc manually.
This is the currently installed version of glibc on Linux (Ubuntu 20.04), which does not work.

$ ldd --version | head -n1
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.9) 2.31

The packages for Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 that were not working are all up to date. I haven't done any manual library configuration outside of my development environment.

Here's one thing I've tried, and I've found that it works fine on the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS + NodeJS 18.17.1 combination.

It was showing version 2.35 of glibc.

test@test-virtual-machine:~/Documents/source/issue-realm-js-12-glibc$ ldd --version | head -n1
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.35-0ubuntu3.1) 2.35

This issue has a significant impact on my production. I will be using realm v11 until then, but I hope this issue is resolved quickly.

In #6094 we have a potential fix (we need to do some testing and investing of binaries). It looks like we picked the wrong toolchain for our Linux builds.
