[SOLVED] Python in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS gives error /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 version `GLIBC_2.25' not found

Issue

I get this problem when I try to run Python 3.6 on my Ubuntu:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found 

what can be the cause of that?

Solution

You somehow installed python3.6 that was compiled/linked against GLIBC-2.25 (or later). This binary can not run on any machine which has older GLIBC.

The solution is to either build or install python3.6 that is targeted to your machine.
