GLIBC_2.33 not found in raspberry pi python

Question

Error Trace:

ImportError: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/grpc/_cython/cygrpc.cpython-37m-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so)

Scenario:

I'm using google cloud vision api to detect text in images. The program works fine on laptop but gives the above mentioned error when ran in raspberry pi. I've searched a lot but couldn't find any working solution. I'd really appreciate if any one could let me know how to solve this.

Uninstalling grpcio and grpcio-status (mine had version 1.46.3 installed for both) and installing version 1.44.0 solved it for me:

pip uninstall grpcio 
pip uninstall grpcio-status 
pip install grpcio==1.44.0 --no-binary=grpcio
pip install grpcio-tools==1.44.0 --no-binary=grpcio-tools

You can check your installed versions with pip list.

Note: installing grpcio and grpcio-status takes a really long time. About 15 to 20 minutes each.

Thanks a lot! Just a small hint: pip install grpcio==1.44.0 alone failed for me with the same error as in the original question. The key here was the --no-binary argument. It makes python skip the installers and instead compile everything on your system, honoring your available glibc version. It would problably have worked for newer grpcio versions too...

@user3792852 thank you, I'd try a newer version if the install didn't take so long

Newer versions fail for me with TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list. Happily pip seems to keep trying lower versions until it reaches 1.44.0, which works.

GLIBC and the kernel of the OS go hand-in-hand; you basically need a newer version of your OS, if you need a more recent GLIBC

the version of the GLIBC can be quickly found out with the following command: ldd --version

My raspberry pi has OS 10 Buster. Should i upgrade it to OS 11 ?

I'm running with OS 11 Bullseye but, as other answers say, the libc version is baked into the kernel. It's possible a fresh download of the OS image may include a newer version, but I can't find any resource that confirms this.

Have you tried building glibc 2.33+ alongside the glibc that come in raspberry pi? Something along this answer and comments to use buildroot

The linked answer sounds like going down a deep rabbit hole...

I got this error after installing tflite-runtime 2.12.0, and I found that installing tflite-runtime 2.11.0 got rid of it. The wheel files for your processor/python combo can be found here: https://pypi.org/project/tflite-runtime/2.11.0/#files
