How to Check the glibc Version In Fedora
Pre-Flight Check
- These instructions are intended specifically for checking the installed version of glibc.
- I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 20 and Fedora 21 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.
Using ldd
ldd --version
This should return a result similar to (though your version may vary):
ldd (GNU libc) 2.20

In this case, version 2.20 is installed.
Using yum
yum list glibc
This should return a result similar to:
Installed Packages
glibc.x86_64 2.20-5.fc21 @anaconda
Available Packages
glibc.i686 2.20-5.fc21 fedora
In this case, 2.20-5.fc21 is the package installed.
