Blink example - compile stops. (correct libc version not found?)

[Markjanner]

I'm quite new to VS code, and following the online guide to get Blink compiled on a Pi400. Compile stops, seems to be complaining about the library versions? The VScode extension is set to SDK v2.0.0.

I have checked the libc version installed in the path given in the terminal output and it says v2.3.1, which is the latest according version to synaptic. Do I need newer versions from somewhere or is the compiler looking in the wrong place?

Terminal window:

`/blink/build/blink.elf blink.uf2 --family rp2040 --abs-block

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.`

If I set the SDK version in the VS code extension to v1.5.x the blink project builds fine, but then it complains when I go to 'Run' it:

`Executing task: /home/pi400/.pico-sdk/picotool/2.0.0/picotool/picotool load /home/pi400/blink/build/blink.elf -fx

Should I be able to build with version 2.0.0 of the SDK on a Pi400??:
uname -a

Thanks for reporting the issue.

I seems like picotool is compiled with a newer GLIBC version as currently included in your OS.
Unfortunately you can't just update this library.
What is the output of ldd --version and cat /etc/os-release on your system?
