title: Can I fix a "version GLIBC_2.14 not found" error without being sysadmin?
body: <p>I am trying to run a <code>setup.py</code> file on a remote machine in a Conda environment. I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    from torch.utils.cpp_extension import BuildExtension, CUDAExtension
    File "/home/pbrook/miniconda3/envs/super_resolution/lib/python3.6/site-packages/torch/__init__.py", line 81, in &lt;module&gt;
      from torch._C import *
  ImportError: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I found <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/421642/libc-so-6-version-glibc-2-14-not-found">one post</a> that suggests that I don't have a high enough version of <code>libc6</code>.</p>
  
  <p>My question: is it possible for me to update this and overcome my problem even if I am not the root user? Or do I have to ask the system admin to do this for me. I am new to using Conda environments, so I wasn't sure if this was something I could do within my Conda environment without having to bother the system admin.</p>
