Update 12/18/14 - GLIBC_2.17 issue Debian/Ubuntu servers

[Mazer]

Getting this on my Debian & Ubuntu servers after today's update:

server_srv.so error=bin/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not found (required by /home/fofserver/serverfiles/fof/bin/server_srv.so

Fixed this once before (when it was GLIBC_2.15 causing the issue) with the Daniel Gibbs tweak.

I can confirm it is also on CentOS 6 servers, CentOS 7 is fine.

While you can do this with pinning, here's a quick fix for Debian wheezy amd64 w/ i386 architecture support:
1) Add Debian testing to your /etc/apt/sources.list.
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib
2) apt-get update
3) apt-get -t testing install libc6-i386 libc6-dev-i386
4) Remove Debian testing repo from your sources.list
5) apt-get update again.

Looks like the GLIBC requirements have increased with this update from 2.15 to 2.17. Only Ubuntu 14.04 and up and CentOS 7 will now run this server without a 'fix' for this issue. This is not a great move from the devs as it makes things a right pain for most server admins that are probably running debian CentOS 6 or another LTS version of Ubuntu. Unless there is a very good reason for requiring this version it is a bad idea as many distros don't use this version yet.

An FYI you can check your GLIBC version by using the command

ldd --version

I am a dev of Linux Game Server Manager and I will be writing a fix in the the for script to resolve this issue.

Here is the issue I have raised for LGSM. You can keep up to date with any fixes as I figure it out. I have tried to fix tonight but with no luck so far.

If I am informed correct R_Yell will release a new update tomorrow that should fix this problem.

Please update again if you don't mind as I uploaded a newer build (before the build ID was updated)
