filezilla pro does not work on ubuntu 18.04 lts due to dependencies required x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

We just purchased FileZilla Pro, and installed the manual and stand-alone binaries into ~/Desktop. From a Ubuntu 18.04LTS machine (64bit), we read the manual and then tried to runt he executable, the following to reproduce the errors:

Code: Select all

(base) andrew@pragati-phykija-server:~/Desktop/FileZilla3/bin$ ./filezilla
./filezilla: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by ./filezilla)
./filezilla: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /home/andrew/Desktop/FileZilla3/bin/../lib/libwx_baseu-3.0.so.0)
./filezilla: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /home/andrew/Desktop/FileZilla3/bin/../lib/libsqlite3.so.0)

So, right now I am installing a VirtualBox VM of the latest Debian, and hopefully we can get it working on the VM... But this is really odd... Please can we not just have a pre-compile Filezilla Pro and allow us to compile and make with the more recent GNU compiler we have already pre-installed on our Ubuntu machine?

Or any advice on how to fix the dependency errors without having wide-reaching impacts on our stack?

Thanks!

Our binaries are for the stable version of Debian or compatible. Ubuntu 18.04 is simply too old.

Linux Mint 19.x is the same. I'm just using the Windows version under Wine.

Thanks.

So now we've installed the latest Debian onto a Virtualbox guest. > transferred over the FileZilla pro and then:

Code: Select all

ab@debian:~/Desktop/FileZilla3/bin$ ./filezilla 
./filezilla: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Which is at least a different error now, any ideas on how to fix this would really be appreciated.

Awesome, it finally works!

Solution:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0

Thanks for posting the solution. Just moved from Linux Mint to Kubuntu and had the same issue. Working a treat now.
