Solana Common Errors

Diagnose and fix common Solana development errors — GLIBC mismatches, Anchor version conflicts, cargo build-sbf / platform-tools failures, LiteSVM issues, edition2024 crate pins, RPC airdrops, and Anchor 0.29→0.32 migrations. Use when builds fail, Anchor CLI won't install, or CI breaks on Debian/Ubuntu.

Quick triage

Symptom	First fix
`GLIBC_2.38/2.39 not found`	Build Anchor from source, use Docker `ubuntu:24.04`, or `avm install X --from-source`
`cargo build-sbf` not found	Install Anza CLI + fix PATH
Platform tools corrupted	`cargo build-sbf --force-tools-install` + free ≥3GB disk
`feature edition2024 is required`	Pin crates (see below) + commit `Cargo.lock`
`litesvm` `__isoc23_strtol`	GLIBC <2.38 → use `solana-bankrun` or Ubuntu 24.04
`ECONNREFUSED ::1:8899`	Use `http://127.0.0.1:8899` / `NODE_OPTIONS=--dns-result-order=ipv4first`
Anchor CLI ≠ anchor-lang	Match versions via AVM + Cargo.toml

edition2024 pins (platform-tools v1.48 / cargo 1.84)

cargo update -p blake3 --precise 1.8.2
cargo update -p constant_time_eq --precise 0.3.1
cargo update -p base64ct --precise 1.7.3
cargo update -p indexmap --precise 2.11.4

Or in Cargo.toml:

blake3 = "=1.8.2"
constant_time_eq = "=0.3.1"
base64ct = "=1.7.3"
indexmap = "=2.11.4"

Install toolchain (safe baseline)

sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/stable/install)"
export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/solana/install/active_release/bin:$PATH"
cargo install --git https://github.com/solana-foundation/anchor avm --force
avm install 0.30.1
avm use 0.30.1
