How to use on Debian 12?

[GitStorageOne]

Hello!

When I execute pre-compiled appimage v1.1.1, I get error:

./pgmodeler-1.1.1-linux64.appimage: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.32' not found (required by ./pgmodeler-1.1.1-linux64.appimage)

So, not sure what to do..
Is it a bug or Debian 12 is not supported?

Hi

It seems a Glibc version incompatibility as hinted by the error message. pgModeler libs require 3.4.32, which one is installed in your system?

[GitStorageOne]

libc6-dev/stable,stable-security,now 2.36-9+deb12u4 amd64 [installed,automatic]
libc6/stable,stable-security,now 2.36-9+deb12u4 amd64 [installed]

I guess 2.36?

[GitStorageOne]

I remember having a similar problem with my own software when I compiled it using the latest OS.
Many users reported something similar, so I used a separate virtual machine with an old OS to compile.
This library is backwards compatible, so after compiling on an older OS my application worked everywhere.

[rkhaotix]

AppImage is designed to be backward compatible with older Glibc version. The problem is with pgModeler build itself. I needed to get rid of that backward compatibility so I could use newer Qt versions. Unfortunately, for the problem you're facing, the solution is to use a newer OS (I don't know how old is Debian 12) but to give you an idea, pgModeler is built on a opensuse 15.5.

[GitStorageOne]

I see,
Debian 12 was released June 10th, 2023

[GitStorageOne]

I will test on the most popular and latest distro - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

[GitStorageOne]

It doesn't work either.
It seems, pre-compiled appimage has very limited OS support, which also is not listed anywhere.

[GitStorageOne]

As far as I understand, targeting to GLIBC 3.4.30 would be OK for the most distros.

[rkhaotix]

Yeah, I know. I still consider pgModeler AppImages experimental. For the next release I will try to build them on a distro a bit more older than the one I use for development.

[GitStorageOne]

Yeah, I know. I still consider pgModeler AppImages experimental.

I'm getting the same error with .run bundle, so it's more general issue.

For the next release I will try to build them on a distro a bit more older than the one I use for development.

Latest Ubuntu LTS could be safe choice for the build server.

[rkhaotix]

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll build a snapshot later today and let you know. ;)

[rkhaotix]

Unfortunately, I'm about to ditch (or at least suspend) the use of appimages for pgModeler. It causes more trouble than it is effectively portable. Also, the author seems to have abandoned the project in favor of a new implementation of AppImage in Go language.

I'm running a patched older version of linuxdeployqt so it can be compiled in Qt 6 and deploy Qt 6 libraries. The original linuxdeployqt doesn't support Qt 6 and it seems that the author is unwilling to add that support anytime soon.

Anyway, I'll see if the new implementation of AppImage can help me somehow. That's it for now.

[jokay]

AppImage in Go language seems promising 👍🏼

[rkhaotix]

@jokay I made some changes and build new AppImages on a Kubuntu 20.06 with PostgreSQL 12. Could you please test them on your system?

[jokay]

@rkhaotix yes this looks better now.

Thank you very much 👍🏼
