./grin: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34’ not found (required by ./grin)

The main problem I think is that my GLIBC is v 2.28 and those versions are required by grin… So is some kind of containerized version of GRIN needed in this case?

Thanks for the help in advance

Can you not install/update those packages?
For containerization, you have an old snap version and docker, but that adds a lot of overhead.
So, most logical to me would be to just install them:

Just google them each.

What I’ve learned is that Almalinux 8 ships with a lower version and it’s not so easy to upgrade, it’s risky. I’ll just install grin on another server I have, but eventually I think it’d be great if a containerized version of grin were updated (snap)

Thanks for the suggestion, friend

You need to build it locally, AppImage format solves problem with GLIBC.
