trouble with glibc when using nvidia driver

[Christophe Trophime]

Hi,
I'm running into a problem when trying to build a singularity container for some paraview app:

singularity shell docker/paraview-visualizer.sif
Singularity> pvpython -m paraview.apps.trame --data ~
/opt/paraview/bin/pvpython-real: error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Singularity> export TRAME_APP=pv_visualizer
Singularity> pvpython -m paraview.apps.trame --data ~
/opt/paraview/bin/pvpython-real: error while loading shared libraries: libEGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My host is a debian/testing with glic 2.33 and the container is a ubuntu/focal with glibc 2.31.
Is there a way to work around this issue

Hi,
actually the error shows up when I use the --nv option.

My understanding of the problem is that using --nv I get the driver from the host (eg debian bookworm)

The driver for bookworm are build against libc6 2.33. In the container which is running ubuntu 20.04

libc6 is 2.31 hence the trouble when trying to use libEGL.so.1 from the host running debian/bookworm.

If I'm correct, my question is how to work around libc incompatibilty when using singularity containers

if this is ever possible.

Ok, I didn't see the attached definition file.  I was able to reproduce
the problem.  So what you're asking in a nutshell is where to get that
library from?  That's one of the libraries that's supposed to be bound
in from the host with the --nv option, I didn't recognize it.  So you're
running on a host that has the nvidia GPU libraries installed, and if
you do `singularity shell --nv docker/paraview-visualizer.sif` you get
the same error?  Your command below doesn't show using --nv.

Hi Dave,
I finaly manage to find the problem. You were right. This culprit was not singularity but a broken config
for EGL. My debian is setup for using nvidia driver. This can be seen by checking opngl setup with glxinfo
nut eglinfo reports that I'm using mesa. Forcing libEGLso.1 to point to the egl nvidia version fix the issue.

The problem is actually a misconfiguration from glx-diversion in debian.
