I'm trying to install Cnet on WSL 2 in Windows 11. I have build-essential installed, and have run the install-cnet.sh file, getting the following output:

trap: SIGINT: bad trap
downloading cnet-Linux-x86_64
installing executable as /usr/local/bin/cnet

downloading cnet-lib.tgz
installing resources in /usr/local/lib/cnet

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  10178560 Mar 10 14:48 /usr/local/bin/cnet
drwxr-xr-x 2  501 staff     4096 Mar  6 06:31 /usr/local/lib/cnet

I'm assuming something is wrong here, given that I'm triggering some kind of trap. When I try to run Cnet, I get the error /usr/local/bin/cnet: error while loading shared libraries: libxkbcommon.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't really know what that file is for, but the web suggests to install a package with:

shell> sudo apt install libxkbcommon0

( https://packages.ubuntu.com/mantic/i386/libxkbcommon0/filelist )

??

Thanks for the response. I have tried that, and now when I run Cnet, I get:

/usr/local/bin/cnet: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /usr/local/bin/cnet)
/usr/local/bin/cnet: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /usr/local/bin/cnet)

What Linux distribution are you running inside WSL-2 ? It's rather unusual for a Linux distribution not to come with glibc.

Can you provide the full (long) output from ldd /usr/local/bin/cnet on your system? It should show what's installed, and what's missing.

I'm using Ubuntu (I think 22.04)

Here's the output:

I have found a solution

Ubuntu needs to be updated to 23.10. To do this, run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y. Once this has completed, run sudo do-release-upgrade and you'll be prompted to edit the file /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to allow normal Ubuntu installations, rather than LTS ones. Once this file has been edited, rerun sudo do-release-upgrade. This process may take a while, but allow all prompts and restart WSL when completed.

After this you should have Ubuntu 23.10. Other libraries may be required to be installed. For example, I had to install build-essential and libsm-dev.
