[Bug][IDE]: VSCode extension doesn't work with GLIBC 2.34 #163
Comments

We can potentially use a older ubuntu image to produce the linux build that has a lower glibc requirement. However, the oldest one provided by GitHub is ubuntu 22.04, which requires glibc 2.35, so unfortunately it still won't solve your problem. |

You're right — that wouldn't solve my issue, but I’d still recommend providing wheels for Ubuntu 22.04. Its end-of-life is in 2027, so it’s still widely used. That said, I’m not deeply familiar with the intricacies of this topic, so I might be off base. However, I use Ruff — which is also built with Rust and relies on glibc — and it works well on my system. Perhaps there's an opportunity to follow a similar approach to how they build their wheels? From what I can tell, they use the manylinux image and glibc 2.17+. |

We have a few options:
I tried option 2 and it seems to build. can you test that this extension works on your machine? |
Summary: Older operating systems have an older glibc version that won't work with newer versions. But newer versions always work with older version. When a version is too old, our binary fails to start with a message like `version `GLIBC_2.39' not found` (User report [here](#163)). Ubuntu 22.04 is the oldest version [github will support by default](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#standard-github-hosted-runners-for-public-repositories). By building on ubuntu-latest, [we build on ubuntu 24.04](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runners/using-github-hosted-runners/about-github-hosted-runners#standard-github-hosted-runners-for-public-repositories). But this does not work with older operating systems like ubuntu 22.04 or CentOS 9. Ubuntu 20.04 is EOL end of may 2025 and no longer receives security updates. But CentOS 9 gets updates until 2027. If we build on ubuntu 20.04, we can target CentOS 9 and other older systems. We have a few options in resolving this: - build with musl for a statically-linked self-contained binary. Downsides: [known perf regressions](rust-lang/rust-analyzer#16793 (comment)) (I have not benchmarked this). All OS versions (even new ones) will get the `musl` build because there is no way to target older OSes in VSCode's release - build with an older OS github supports natively like ubuntu 22.04 - build with an even older OS with a custom container This diff implements option 3 for the extension build. If we like it, we can also use it on the pypi build. Is it worth it? Should we just target 22.04+? Or should we build with musl?

Describe the Bug
I wanted to try out the VSCode extension, but got this error, it seems I have a too old version of GLIBC (2.34) but 2.39 is needed, therefor I am not sure if this is a bug or it's just on my side, but sadly I can't update this system, so maybe there is the option to lower the required version.
