When I try to open Visual Studio Code using the command line code
in the Terminal, I got this error that I don't understand:
$ code

CodePudding user response:
Update:
The failure was caused by LD_PRELOAD
pointing to the system libstdc .so.6
.
General advice: never set LD_PRELOAD
in your ~/.bashrc
. If a specific program requires you to set LD_PRELOAD
, create a shell wrapper for that program in your ~/bin/
, and set LD_PRELOAD
in that wrapper, so only that particular program is affected.
I got this error that I don't understand
The error means: code
binary is using two libraries: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc .so.6
and /snap/core/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
which are not compatible.
In particular, the system libstdc .so.6
requires newer libc.so.6
than the one found in /snap/core/...
.
From the error message, libstdc .so.6
was compiled on a system (and requires) GLIBC-2.34 or newer, and the /snap/core/.../libc.so.6
is older than GLIBC-2.25.
You can find out the exact version of /snap/core/.../libc.so.6
by invoking it as if it was a program -- it will print its own version.
The error indicates some kind of setup / configuration problem with snap
(I have no idea what that is). It is likely that you need to install an older version of libstdc .so.6
into /snap/core/...
.
