Is it possible to run on ubuntu 18.04?

[canh25xp]

I know this is a really old distribution, but let's say I can only run on this version of ubuntu.

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS"

I try to run with the latest prebuilt "llama-b5757-bin-ubuntu-x64.zip" and get this error

I know this mean my libc version is too old, but is there any workaround ? Has any one successfully run this on ubuntu 18.04 ?

Yes it is possible, but super tedious. It's much better to just build it yourself, or upgrade the OS.
(Or maybe utilize a virtual machine, or something...)

If you still want to do it, this is the method I've used.
(And yeah I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a better way!)

• Copy over all the libraries that the binary needs (you need to get them from a new distro, somehow).
• Use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the directory where they are located.
• Launch the binary with the new version of ld-linux-x86-64.so.2.

For example, if you have the libs in $HOME/tmp/newlibs you can try something like:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/tmp/newlibs $HOME/tmp/newlibs/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /path/to/llama-cli --help

Most likely it will result in a segfault, because some lib was missing.
You can check them with ldd or by setting LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1.

Good luck!

Thank you, I ended up compile it by my self.
