Linux Application

[graham]

I'm on OpenSuse 15.0. run.sh gives me this error message:
./JamKazam: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by ./JamKazam)
./JamKazam: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by /home/graham/Documents/projects/jamkazam/jk_linux/libs/libmp3lame.so.0)

I am reluctant to start a wild goose chase through a dependency list of unknown length so: Is there a recommended distribution that has all the right dependencies already in it please?

Any particular reason you're not on Leap 15.2?

The people at glibc are generally very careful to provide backwards compatibility and there has been a Leap 15 - 2.27 RPM on pbone for some time.
The deps list doesn't look too scary. (and you can always roll back)

Just for my information. Would you go through a 'new' OS install just to solve this dep?

I am usually very slow to upgrade software. Have sometimes experienced things getting broken by an upgrade and sometimes have just hated the change of behaviour of an application. So I don't actively seek out upgrades. But I will have a look at 15.2 and maybe apply it.

So I would be safe to install glibc 2.27? I am close to fini$ng a sizeable Qt programming project and would be devastated if something broke the IDE or the project code. There's a deps list? Where is that?

Yes, I have just partitioned my Windows 8.1 HD in half to make space to install the latest Ubuntu which I assume will have most of the right packages. But I have not installed it yet. Apart from the dependency question there is the issue of whether the Linux version works satisfactorily. My reasoning is that there would be little point in big changes to my current working environment if in the end I prefer to carry on using the Windows version.
