linux libc version with debian 7

[AdaIsDead]

Hi,

With factorio_demo_x64_0.7.5.tar.gz on Debian GNU/Linux 7.2 (wheezy) amd64 i get:

./bin/x64/factorio
./bin/x64/factorio: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./bin/x64/factorio)
./bin/x64/factorio: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./bin/x64/factorio)
./bin/x64/factorio: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./bin/x64/factorio)

afaict debian 7 has glibc 2.13...

I installed debian 7 into a vm and followed the instructions by 0e 800 here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1086 ... -on-debian and it worked...actually it gives glibc 2.17 but it worked for me. Not sure if this would cause issues with previously installed programs or not though, I did this on a fresh install. I did try simply downloading the lib and placing it inside of the factorio folder but that did not work. Maybe someone with more linux experience than I could tell you more

PS. I give no guarantees that updating as I mentioned will not destroy your computer, OS, family dog, house, life, car, bank account etc.
edit: PPS nor am I a developer of Factorio

I ended up doing something similar, but 2.17-93 is in testing now, so you don't need to go with experimental, which should be slightly safer.

factorio is great, I bought it yesterday and played till 5am , thanks for supporting linux!

Mind sharing exactly what you did for anyone else (new) that happens to use Debian?

Yes, that seems to happen fairly often

edit /etc/apt/sources.list, copy one of the wheezy sections and replace wheezy with testing

Code: Select all

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

It will want to restart lots of system services etc, let it.

edit sources.list again removing the testing lines you added, make sure there is still a wheezy section!

apt-get update again

thats it.

but 2.17-93 is in testing now
