ImportError: /../lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found

[CarlossShi]

Environment:

• System: WSL, Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
• Python 3.7.17, 3.8.18, 3.9.18

Reproduce:

conda create -n football python=3.8
conda activate football

sudo apt-get install git cmake build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev libsdl2-dev \
libsdl2-image-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-gfx-dev libboost-all-dev \
libdirectfb-dev libst-dev mesa-utils xvfb x11vnc python3-pip

python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools psutil wheel
python3 -m pip install gfootball

python3 -m gfootball.play_game --action_set=full

And then I get the error below:

libgame.so _gameplayfootball.so && popd
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/carlos/anaconda3/envs/football/lib/python3.8/runpy.py", line 185, in _run_module_as_main

I've tried methods suggested in 'GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found for librosa in conda virtual environment (after trying out a lot of solutions)?, Anaconda ImportError: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version GLIBCXX_3.4.21 not found: conda install -c conda-forge libstdcxx-ng=12 and conda install -c conda-forge libstdcxx-ng, respectively.

However, I get another error:

Would you please help me solve the problem? Thanks!

I encounter the same issues. Anyone solve this?

I encountered a similar issue while using Python 3.8.20 on Ubuntu 22.04, but everything worked seamlessly when I switched to Python 3.10.

I have solved this problem in Ubuntu, miniconda3. First, you need to check whether your system has the correct version of "GLIBCXX". You can do this by running:

strings /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX

This should display a list of GLIBCXX versions. You need to check whether you have GLIBCXX 3.4.30. If it exists, you can proceed to the next step. Otherwise you probably need to update your system.

Next, check what's wrong with your conda environment by running:

strings /path_to_your_environment/lib/libstdc++.so.6  | grep GLIBC

In my case, conda only has GLIBCXX 3.4.29. This is why it doesn't work. We then need to link the library. We can run:

ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 /path_to_your_environment/lib/libstdc++.so.6

After doing this, the engine can be compiled. (For me, I need to run "pip install six" before it works).

Other problems you might encounter

Here are other information you might need. This package is old, so we need to install older version of gym. To do this, we need the older versioins of pygame, pip and setuptools. Try running:

pip install pygame==2.1.2
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools==57.5.0
python -m pip install pip==20.0.1
pip install gym==0.20.0
