[AWS Lambda]: How to fix "/lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found"

I'm attempting to use gifsicle in a lambda function utilizing a Node.js 14.x runtime. Executing the function throws the following error:

ERROR /opt/gifsicle: /lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /opt/gifsicle)

After doing some due diligence, I believe I need to add a layer to my lambda that contains the directory and required dependency noted in the error - but I'm at a total loss as to how to go about doing so.

Any suggestions?

The instructions are available here. The information on how to create the layer content is rather poor. What you need to do is the following:

  • Spawn an EC2 instance with Amazon Linux 2
  • Install gifsicle into it. You probably need to build it from source.
  • Create a zip file. The gifsicle should go to the bin folder and any required libraries to lib folder.

This zip file should be ready to upload as a Lambda layer.
