Error: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

Question

I am facing with the following error when i try to run a program on centos 6.

/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

I used ldd --version to find out what is the current version of glibc:

ldd (GNU libc) 2.17

which is higher than 2.14 and consequently, I should not face with this error. what should i do to resolve this error?

According to distrowatch, CentOS 6.10 shipped with GLIBC-2.12.

I used ldd --version

ldd is highly unreliable for anything (it will lie to you).

What matters is what version of /lib64/libc.so.6 you have. You can find out by running it, like so:

/lib64/libc.so.6

@DavidC.Rankin No, I don't. I mean _exactly_ what I wrote. – Employed Russian Jul 17 '20 at 04:00
That works too -- I always just listed the symlink. – David C. Rankin Jul 17 '20 at 04:02
Thank you for your response. I used your proposed command and the result was: `GNU C Library (GNU libc) stable release version 2.17` still higher than 2.14. – MR7 Jul 17 '20 at 11:28
@MR7 That is very surprising. Please edit your question to add output from `env LD_DEBUG=files,libs /path/to/your/program`. – Employed Russian Jul 17 '20 at 15:13
I have `version 2.12,` while the software required `2.14` – Salem Nov 03 '20 at 04:12
