touch /usr/local/glibc-2.39/etc/ld.so.conf

(Same for version 2.38) before running the make install command.

If you don’t, the process will fail with the following error:

/usr/local/glibc-2.39/lib /usr/local/glibc-2.39/lib
/tmp/glibc-2.39/build/elf/ldconfig: Can't open configuration file /usr/local/glibc-2.39/etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory

@Stefano,

This could be due to compatibility issues between the versions of glibc and your Python installation.

Verify that the version of ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 you are using is compatible with your installed glibc versions in the same directory.

ls /usr/local/glibc-2.38/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

You can try setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include the glibc library path before running the pip install command.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/glibc-2.38/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/opt/python/${PYTHON_VERSION}/bin/pip install ipykernel

Another approach is to create a symbolic link to the required version of ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 in the directory where your ld-2.30.so is expected.

ln -s /usr/local/glibc-2.38/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/local/glibc-2.38/lib/ld-2.30.so

If the segmentation fault persists, you may want to debug it using gdb.

gdb --args /opt/python/${PYTHON_VERSION}/bin/python -m pip install ipykernel

I followed the script and was able to install both glibc-2.39 and glibc-2.38, but I do not have the file ld-2.30.so.

I tried to use the code with the file ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, but it failed.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/glibc-2.38/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /opt/python/${PYTHON_VERSION}/bin/pip install ipykernel

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
