Version 1.7.8 Needs Newer glibc

[o1812542]

I've found that MakeMKV 1.7.8 needs a newer version of glibc. My distribution currently comes with 2.13 and when I try to run MakeMKV I get:

Code: Select all

o1812542@localhost:~$ makemkv
/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/bin/makemkvcon)
/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/bin/makemkvcon)

It would be awesome if you could please lower the minimum required version to 2.13. Otherwise I want to downgrade back to MakeMKV 1.7.7 but it appears that old versions are not available to download anymore.

[ldconfig]

I am in the same boat

"jimmyz@Woofie ~ $ makemkv
/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/bin/makemkvcon)
/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by /usr/bin/makemkvcon)"

I have googled until my eyes bled and no answer. Trying to install glibc 2.15 from source and when i did ./configure i got some crap about building in another folder... Just because I have used Linux for the last 10+ years does not make me a programmer. Up until 1.7.8 everything worked perfect.

Running Linux Mint 10 /2.6.35-22

Was going to try to go back to 1.7.7 but I can't seem to find it anywhere to download any more.

What do I have to do to fix this? PLEASE

ldconfig

I am affected by this problem, too. Platform is Debian sid, amd64. I still had the binaries of makemkv 1.7.7, but they refuse to run.

Could you please provide a compatible version?

[ldconfig]

I wiped my drive & installed linux mint 13 (from 10) not happy about it but it fixed makemkv.

Just wish next time we get a warning like "this will break on kernel/glibc version etc etc. (with the commands to check your version/s before you hose anything)

ldconfig

I'm using the current stable Debian (Debian 6.0 squeeze). I watched the GLIBC-Version of the next Deboian Release. It's 2.13! Debian testing/unstable has been frozen now. So the next Release will be 2.13 witch means that all the Debian users will NOT be able to use makemkv for the next 2 or 3 years! That's simply bad programming style. I'm using "nero 4 linux" since a couple of years. It runs under Debian 3 as well as under the current Debian testing and is a good example that it IS possibe to write Linux programms that run under a wide varity of Linux versions without any changes...

Sure wish I could use this software, considering I paid for it...
Please recompile makemkvcon with glibc 2.13

glibc 2.13-35 is the newest for Debian.
http://packages.debian.org/search?suite ... ords=libc6

I bet you built this from a newer version of Ubuntu, from looking at their glibc version:

Using Ubuntu 10.04 with libc 2.11.1 here. Continued support for older distros would be highly appreciated.

[batesman]

Same here.
I' using Debian Wheezy.
IMHO it's not OK to require a Version of libc which is newer than the Version in the most actual stable distributions (even more wheezy is TESTING).

Fortunately I've kept the archives around for every makemkv I've downloaded otherwise I'd be out a makemkv like others in this thread. It appears that the license allows redistribution, so if the author doesn't post 1.7.7, I may.

I'm currently running Ubuntu 11.10, and whenever I get around to updating to 12.04 LTS, I had been planning to keep it there until the next LTS came out. In seeing this thread, I'm wondering if I cannot upgrade future versions of makemkv without upgrading to a non-LTS version. Was the use of later version of libc a fluke this time or should this be expected in the future as well?

Old Versions are available here:

That is progress, and addresses my most immediate need but the root problem remains: MakeMKV depends on a version of the GNU C Library that the stable releases of most mainstream GNU/Linux distributions aren't using yet. This will lock me and others out of future upgrades. I don't have any Blu-Rays with AACS v35 yet but I would like to be able to rip then when I do.

Ouch. We upgraded the build machine and that went unnoticed. Should be addressed in the next version.

Here is how I got glibc-2.16 installed/built on my Fedora 14 machine, and getting MakeMKV to work.

First, get glibc-2.26

git clone git://sourceware.org/git/glibc.git

cd glibc

git checkout --track -b local_glibc-2.16 origin/release/2.16/master

That will download it to “glibc”

Now you need to make a build folder so

cd -

mkdir -v glibc-build

cd glibc-build

Configure (my build and glibc folder were both in /Home/Nifty)

/Home/Nifty/glibc/./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-profile --enable-add-ons --enable-kernel=2.6.25 --libexecdir=/usr/lib/glibc

Still from the “glibc-build” folder

make - this will take a while

make install

Ok, so it was unintentional. Thanks for the clarification.

Thank you for posting this. This will work fine until 1.7.9 gets released.

make - this will take a while

make -j[number of cores/threads your processor has]

ex. make -j4 should use 4 cores/threads to speed things up.
