I am trying to configure Skype Call Recorder in Debian 7.1, running Skype 4.3.0.37.

Since there was no amd64 package for Debian, I am using skype-call-recorder-ubuntu_0.10_amd64.deb. The installation seems to go smooth. However, once I run it, I get the following error:

skype-call-recorder: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by skype-call-recorder)

I have tried to locate a package for this library and I could not find which one should be. I have also tried with the Debian package, but it does not even run the installation properly.

Any idea what the issue could be? Where can I find the library? The closest information I have found is at http://www.pc-freak.net/blog/how-to-record-your-skype-calls-with-skype-call-recorder-on-debian-linux-install-skype-call-recorder-on-amd64-debian-squeeze-testingunstable-linux/ , but it seems there was not library dependency problem in this case.

  • The current stable glibc in Wheezy is 2.13-1. See glibc package details. You need to add 2.14

    Hold on, upgrading the C library is a really bad idea in general.

  • @FaheemMitha, I agree but he asked how to do it...

  • You already have the library: it's libc.so.6. But your version is too old: you have 2.13 but the binary you installed requires at least 2.14 (and it's badly made: it doesn't declare its dependencies properly). I suggest compiling from source — though I don't know where the source of the latest version is.

  • It could be interesting to find out what glibc 2.14 feature is so vital to this piece of software... Maybe previous versions of Skype Call Recording worked under glibc 2.13x: they might still be available for download somewhere.

I did not want to mess with the libraries, therefore I tried the suggestion of @john-wh-smith:

It could be interesting to find out what glibc 2.14 feature is so vital to this piece of software... Maybe previous versions of Skype Call Recording worked under glibc 2.13x: they might still be available for download somewhere.

Version 0.8 works perfectly with the old version of the C library (concretely for this specific case I used skype-call-recorder-ubuntu_0.8_amd64.deb).

You need to add the debian experimental repository to your /etc/sources.list from there you need to download and install glibc 2.17, this can be a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing though as running unstable software can be dangerous, so be weary.
