I’ve been an Insync user for a long time, using Ubuntu mostly. But now I need it on a Slackware 14.2 machine, and the installers available do not seem to work. Using the bionic package, I get the error
$ insync
[13099] Error loading Python lib ‘/usr/lib64/insync/libpython3.7m.so.1.0’: dlopen: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25’ not found (required by /usr/lib64/insync/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)
My interpretation of this is the compile is being done on a different version of glibc. I had a previous trick to get out of this, which was to install the Mint 18.x version (Xenial). Sadly, this is now broken as well:
$ insync
** (process:15892): WARNING **: Failed to load shared library ‘libnotify.so.4’ referenced by the typelib: /usr/lib64/insync/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.9’ not found (required by /usr/lib64/…/lib64/libpng16.so.16)
So I assume asking to open source Insync will get me nowhere, but are there any helpful suggestions?
