Trouble installing MC27 - libc6 dependency issue
« on: May 09, 2021, 12:53:24 pm »

I want to upgrade MC on my HTPC (Windows version) and I was planning to buy a full license for MC28 and install it on my Linux desktop computer as well (running Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon). When following the instructions to install MC27 in Linux, I get the following error. I was able to download and install MC26 without issue. I'm not a Linux expert, so hopefully there is a simple fix for this. I read that installing a newer version of libc6 could cause issues. Please help. Thanks.

You need to update Linux Mint 19.3 to Linux Mint 20.1 for it to work, the versions of dependencies MC27 needs are too old in Linux Mint 19.3.

Ok, thanks. That makes sense.

If I buy the master license for MC28 to upgrade my Windows HTPC, can I also use that license for MC26 on my Linux computer? I’m not ready to upgrade Linux.

Nope, it won't work for MC26.
