You don't have a high enough version of libc6, that is causing the error.
From How to fix “/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found”? – Super User:
That means the program was compiled against glibc version 2.14, and it requires that version to run, but your system has an older version installed. You'll need to either recompile the program against the version of glibc that's on your system, or install a newer version of glibc (the "libc6" package in Debian).
So, you just need to upgrade your libc6 package. All versions of Ubuntu have at least version 2.15 because it's a faily important package (reference).
To upgrade it, use these commands in a terminal:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6

For the benefit of those like me who are only experiencing this issue in one particular directory;
In my case there was a shared library file in my directory that was somehow throwing off the OS. I opened the folder in a file explorer, sorted by 'mime type' then deleted files of the type 'sharedlib' (or application/x-sharedlib) until my command (ls) worked again without that error. In my case the shared library file at fault was named 'libc.so.6'.

That means the program was compiled against glibc version 2.14, and it requires that version to run, but your system has an older version installed. You'll need to either recompile the program against the version of glibc that's on your system, or install a newer version of glibc (the "libc6" package in Debian).
Debian has glibc 2.16 in the "experimental" repository, but recompiling the program is the safer option. Glibc is the library that everything depends on, so upgrading it can have far-reaching implications. Although there's probably nothing wrong with Debian's glibc 2.16 package, the fact that it's in the experimental repository means it hasn't received as much testing.
I have posted my solution here, repost it for reference.
In my situation, the error appears when I try to run an application (compiled on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) using GLIBC_2.14 on Debian Wheezy (which installs glibc 2.13 by default).
I use a tricky way to run it, and get correct result:
Download libc6 and libc6-dev from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Run dpkg command to install them into a directory (/home/user/fakeroot/ for example):
$ dpkg -x libc6-dev_2.15-0ubuntu10.6_amd64.deb /home/user/fakeroot/ $ dpkg -x libc6_2.15-0ubuntu10.6_amd64.deb /home/user/fakeroot/Run your command with specified LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/user/fakeroot/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ YOUR_COMMANDMy application only uses memcpy() from GLIBC_2.14, and it works.
I don't know whether it will work successfully for other applications. Wish it helpful.
You need to install glibc alongside your current installation of glibc as you cannot update to glibc 2.14 directly in centos 6.x safely. Follow the steps below to install glibc 2.14:
mkdir ~/glibc214cd ~/glibc214wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/glibc-2.14.tar.gztar zxvf glibc-2.14.tar.gzcd glibc-2.14mkdir buildcd build../configure --prefix=/opt/glibc-2.14make -j4sudo make installexport LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/lib(for current login session) OR addLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/glibc-2.14/libin the /etc/environment and performsource /etc/environment(to add env variable permanently)
To install locally, 8th line in first answer became
../configure --prefix=$HOME/.local
then we do not need the "sudo" in 10th line. i.e.
make install
is enough.
You might need to
touch $HOME/.local/etc/ld.so.conf
line 11 becomes:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$HOME/.local/lib"
in .bash_profile of el6
Hey, guys. I usually go with Ubuntu but right now I'm using an Arch VM (Cyberops Workstation) for a course I'm enrolled in. I'm having two separate issues. The first is that I'm trying to locate messsages and I get /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version \GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by locate). When I looked through that library, the file in question did not exist. I had already updated my entire system with -Syu, that changed nothing. I read sudo pacman -S libtool gcc gcc-libs would fix my problem and while now libc.so.6 exists, the same message pops up. What can I do?
I know I shouldn't partially update, but it's fine. I have exported an OVA of my system before tinkering with it and I can start over any time.
The second is that I'm also trying to install chkrootkit and I keep getting error: target not found: chkrootkit, even though as I've said I have already ran sudo pacman -Syu and so to my understanding any mirrors and repositories should have been updated. I figured I might need some kind of AUR helper, even though the guy in the Cisco instructional video is able to install it through pacman, but I keep having problems installing any of them.
