Having trouble installing Dwarf Fortress on Linux Computer
« on: April 15, 2017, 08:32:12 pm »
Hello, I have a Chromebook with Linux on it, and I believe I have everything ready for Dwarf Fortress to run, but when I attempt to run it, an error pops up, GLIBC_2.18 not found; and GLIBC_2.17 not found. I have attempted to update libc6 multiple times, but it refuses to download any version above 2.14. Any ideas of how to get this working?

Ironblood didn't use an axe because he needed it. He used it to be kind. And right now he wasn't being kind.

It must be a pretty old Ubuntu release, like 11 maybe. You should ask at a Ubuntu forum, but it seems to me you need upgrade to a newer Ubuntu release. (Looks like at least 14: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/libc6 )
