Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented prebuilt platform floors: Linux x64/ARM64 glibc >= 2.28 or musl >= 1.2.5; Linux x64 requires SSE4.2; other arches higher glibc.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Could-not-load error including a dlopen message with 'symbol not found' or 'CXXABI_' and Found/Requires libc lines.
- Context
- Product: sharp Component: prebuilt libvips binaries / libc requirement Operation: require('sharp') on older distros (CentOS/RHEL 7, Amazon Linux 2, old Alpine) or CPUs without SSE4.2 Affected versions: unknown Environment: Linux with old glibc/musl; old x64 CPUs Packages: sharp 0.35.x (current source); message family since 0.33 Trigger: Prebuilt sharp/libvips binary linked against newer libc/libstdc++ than the host provides.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [sharp] Load fails on older Linux: 'symbol not found' / 'CXXABI_' → '- Update your OS:' — prebuilt binaries need glibc >= 2.28 or musl >= 1.2.5 (x64 also SSE4.2)
Recommended action: Use a newer base image (glibc >= 2.28, e.g. Debian 10+/AL2023) or musl >= 1.2.5; otherwise build libvips from source (see building-from-source) or use the WebAssembly fallback (npm install sharp @img/sharp-wasm32).
Option: Move to a supported libc or use Wasm [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. Rebase image on glibc >= 2.28
2. Or npm install sharp @img/sharp-wasm32
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
