Can't build package because it needs glibc 2.34 (older than what is installed)

Replit Help

I’m not sure if this comes from the way the requirements are written or the way my repl is configured, but I need to install this custom package from github and it is complaining about the glibc version:

 pip install -U git+https://github.com/pamelafox/flask-sqlalchemy.git@mixin-three

Checking version, I don’t see why there is an issue as it should be backwards-compatible, right?

Edit: I tried putting "glibc-2.34-210" in my repl.nix file, but ldd still shows the same version:

{ pkgs }: {
  deps = [
    pkgs.midori-unwrapped
    pkgs.palemoon
    pkgs.firefox-esr
    pkgs.python310Full
    pkgs.replitPackages.prybar-python310
    pkgs.replitPackages.stderred
    pkgs.clang_12
    pkgs.ccls
    pkgs.gdb
    pkgs.gnumake
  ];
  env = {
    PYTHON_LD_LIBRARY_PATH = pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath [
      # Needed for pandas / numpy
      pkgs.stdenv.cc.cc.lib
      pkgs.zlib
      # Needed for pygame
      pkgs.glib
      # Needed for matplotlib
      pkgs.xorg.libX11
      "glibc-2.34-210"
    ];
    PYTHONHOME = "${pkgs.python310Full}";
    PYTHONBIN = "${pkgs.python310Full}/bin/python3.10";
    LANG = "en_US.UTF-8";
    STDERREDBIN = "${pkgs.replitPackages.stderred}/bin/stderred";
    PRYBAR_PYTHON_BIN = "${pkgs.replitPackages.prybar-python310}/bin/prybar-python310";
  };
}

Also, the error mentions glibc-2.33-59, so not sure what is actually going on here.

Ah yes, I hate when this happens too. The problem here is actually the version of git, not glibc. So

Try removing that and put pkgs.git instead to update the git version.

Still get the same error. Is there a specific git version I should specify?

Can you link the repl? Did you restart it using kill 1 in shell?

Unfortunately that did not help. Repl here: https://replit.com/@Stonecraft/Flask-basic

looking at your repl, you put pkgs.git in the wrong spot. It should be in deps = not PYTHON_LD_LIBRARY_PATH = (As it has nothing to do with python)

There we go, thank you!

This now works on with the latest python setup.

You can start a new Python Repl, or do the following

Here’s the .replit file

entrypoint = "main.py"
modules = ["python-3.10:v18-20230807-322e88b"]

hidden = [".pythonlibs"]

[nix]
channel = "stable-23_05"

[deployment]
run = ["python3", "main.py"]
deploymentTarget = "cloudrun"

And you then delete replit.nix or empty it like so

{ pkgs }: {
  deps = [
  ];
}

Additionally, we recommend using poetry over pip.

Let me know if you run into issues.
