Description

I'm attempting to run a .NET 5 application that exports to an Excel spreadsheet. When I reach the export part, I get the following error:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Gdip' threw an exception.
 ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'libgdiplus' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable: liblibgdiplus: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After running it with LD_DEBUG, I noticed that the glibc version is incorrect.

/snap/core18/current/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: error: version lookup error: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /lib/libgdiplus.so) (fatal)

The version of glibc that ships with Ubuntu is 2.31.
libgdiplus is version 6.0.4

I don't know if this is an issue with Ubuntu, libgdiplus packaging, or what.

Configuration

  • Which version of .NET is the code running on?
    .NET 5
  • What OS and version, and for Linux, what distro?
    Ubuntu 20.04
  • What is the architecture (x64, x86, ARM, ARM64)?
    x64

Other information

  • Please include any relevant stack traces or error messages. If possible please include text as text rather than images (so it shows up in searches).

Hi, I am fighting the same issue right now. Did you make any progress?

I also noticed that in the exception it says liblibgdiplus in the end of the line:

System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'libgdiplus' or one of its dependencies. In order to help diagnose loading problems, consider setting the LD_DEBUG environment variable: liblibgdiplus: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Not sure if that has anything to do with it, but it seems odd.
