When I try to launch game, I get this error

Running EVERSPACE™
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-call-libc-early-init.c: 37: _dl_call_libc_early_init: Assertion `sym != NULL' failed!

I googled it and it seems to be a glibc version incompatibility, is there some way to solve it?
Or even is there anyone still playing this game on Linux? xD

I've tried on Ubuntu 24.04 and Arch Linux, same error.

I get the same error in a debian based distro:

$ uname -a
Linux enoush2o 6.1.0-26-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.112-1 (2024-09-30) x86_64 GNU/Linu

I am trying to run it on Ubuntu 24.04 and get the same error as well. I used to have Ubuntu 20.04 and it ran fine on that version.

I know I've run into a few issues running older games with the latest Ubuntu LTS release. I haven't solved this one yet.

EDIT:
And perusing through other posts, I discovered this: https://www.gog.com/forum/everspace/everspace_does_not_start

Which points out that running "start.sh -l" works.

So I edited ~/.local/share/applications/gog_com-EVERSPACE_1.desktop and changed the line with start.sh so that the second set of parentheses has "-l"

And now it works just fine!
