oc command fails due to missing glibc library

Share

Yesterday i was helping a customer to deploy his OpenShift 4.16.x cluster. The first step was the bastion host preparation. This includes the setup of the OCP CLI.

We do the default instalation of the CLI on top of RHEL 8.x but after the installation we got the following error:

 oc version
oc: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by oc)
oc: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by oc)
oc: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by oc)

We tried to compile the new GLIBC .but without success.

The solution: Download the CLI version compiled for RHEL 8. Link here for amd64
