Docker-alpine: GLIBC symbols not found

[crsrivats]

I am trying to run a program inside the Alpine docker container. The machine that I am creating the Docker image and running the container has a CentOS 7.2 distribution. The application was built using the x84-64 version of GCC and not using the Musl toolchain. The program has a number of shared library dependencies including glibc.

The Dockerfile is setup to download and install glibc-2.21-r2.apk. Other libraries such as libstdc++.so are being copied from the /lib64 directory of the CentOS distribution.

I can run the application in the Docker container but 'ldd' displays potential problems:

ldd /root/ut_mac

Here is the Dockerfile:

FROM alpine:latest
COPY libcjson.so libmedia* libstdc++.so.6.0.19 /lib/
COPY mim* ut* /root/
RUN apk update && \
apk add --no-cache ca-certificates && \
wget "https://circle-artifacts.com/gh/andyshinn/alpine-pkg-glibc/6/artifacts/0/home/ubuntu/alpine-pkg-glibc/packages/x86_64/glibc-2.21-r2.apk" && \
apk add --allow-untrusted glibc-2.21-r2.apk && \
rm glibc* && \
/usr/glibc/usr/bin/ldconfig /lib /usr/glibc/usr/lib && \
ln -s /usr/glibc/usr/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This kind of problem isn't really in scope of the Alpine Linux image. The glibc package is mostly experimental. Please try using a later version from https://github.com/andyshinn/alpine-pkg-glibc/releases and open an issue there if still have problems. A quick search reveals that some of those symbols might be from tls/libc6.so and libbacktrace.

Hi everybody,
somebody have find an issue for this problem because i try to install oracle instance on alpine and i have this error
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/intl.so' - Error loading shared library libicui18n.so.57: No such file or directory (needed by /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20160303/intl.so) in Unknown on line 0

I think it's the same problem

Any advices on how to fix this? I understand this might be the wrong place to look but google sends people here. Sharing workarounds or fixes is very appreciated.

@kilianc Try install https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/x86/libbsd or https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/x86/libbsd-dev

Ok so after my investigation I realized that docker-compose stops working if gcloud auth configure-docker is called before docker-compose build.

Looks like there are some incompatibilities between gcloud sdk and docker-compose, as mention in other places as well seems related to python. Any idea how to get around this?
