未找到 OpenSuse 11 版本“GLIBC_2.14”

Question

I'm trying to get a script working in Python on a Suse Linux Server (OpenSuse 11):

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
 
import select
import psycopg2
import psycopg2.extensions
 
dbc = psycopg2.connect(database='depesz', host='127.0.0.1', port=5920)
dbc.set_isolation_level(psycopg2.extensions.ISOLATION_LEVEL_AUTOCOMMIT)
cur = dbc.cursor()
cur.execute('LISTEN new_user')
 
while 1:
    if not select.select([dbc], [], [], 5) == ([], [], []):
        dbc.poll()
        while dbc.notifies:
            notify = dbc.notifies.pop()
            print "new_user %s, backed: %d" % (notify.payload, notify.pid)

and getting this error:

> Traceback (most recent call last):   File "test_email.py", line 5, in  <module>
>     import psycopg2   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/__init__.py", line
> 50, in <module>
>     from psycopg2._psycopg import BINARY, NUMBER, STRING, DATETIME, ROWID ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: **version `GLIBC_2.14' not found**
> (required by
> /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so)

I checked using this command:

/lib64/libc.so.6

and getting this:

GNU C Library stable release version 2.11.1 (20100118), ...

So I assume 2.14 is not installed, therefore I need to install it, but how to? I'm not quite familiar with OpenSuse, I was trying zypper but it doesn't find the package:

zypper in libc6
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'libc6' not found.
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.

Thanks,

So I assume 2.14 is not installed

Correct.

therefore I need to install it,

No: it doesn't follow that you need to install GLIBC-2.14.

What you should do instead is either obtain or build from source the psycopg2 package targeting your system and your version of GLIBC.

I have no clue, this server was set up a couple of years ago and there was no documentation left

Whoever did this setup had no clue either. Rather than making hacks which may work some of the time, or may break something else, you should do sane thing: either upgrade the entire server to some recent distribution, or install software appropriate for your old one.
