Getting error on Oracle linux 8.5: `GLIBC_2.34’ not found
Hello,
I am facing the below error while trying to get elixir binary working on Oracle linux 8.5 , unfortunately we cannot compile on the target server and we are using docker on Windows to build it , so any idea which docker image best to be utilized ?
/opt/xpi_monitor/erts-15.2.7.4/bin/erlexec: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34’ not found (required by /opt/xpi_monitor/erts-15.2.7.4/bin/erlexec)

Yes, this is a classic glibc mismatch. Your Elixir binary was built with glibc 2.34, but Oracle Linux 8.5 only has 2.28. That’s why /lib64/libc.so.6 is not working.
You can’t compile on the target server, so the easiest way to build is to use a Docker image that is the same as or newer than glibc 2.34. A lot of people get a Fedora, Ubuntu 22.04, or Debian Bullseye base image because they come with glibc 2.34+ already installed. Build your Elixir release there, and then send the binaries to Oracle Linux.
You could also try static linking for your release, but Elixir/Erlang doesn’t always work well with fully static builds. So, the best and least painful way to match glibc is to use a newer Docker build image.
