Hi !
After installation on Debian 8, running produces the following message:
GLIBC_2.4 not found

[data-medics]

try this:

sudo apt-get install glibc
or
sudo apt-get install libc6

That should add the needed dependency. You also might need to run "sudo apt-get update" first.

shall I restart debian after the apt-install ?
Note I run wheezy (sorry my first message was wrong) from an old disk in order to repair a new one

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by hddsupertool)

Ok. I made apt-get upgrade to upgrade my old wheezy.
Now libc.so.6 is here but the version is 2.13 for glibc
I downloaded libc6_2.19-1_amd64.deb from sid and executed dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure ...

Now hddsupertool start but finds only one disk:

Code:

Finding devices

Q) Quit
R) Refresh drive list
1) /dev/sda WDC WD1502FYPS-02W3B0 WD-WCAVY4851994
Choose which drive >

If you do a command such as "fdisk -l" does it list any more disks?

To find disks in the normal mode HDDSuperTool uses the following command to make its list:
"ls /dev | grep -w sd."
This will list all devices that start with "sd" and are 3 characters in length. If you can list the disk with another command, you can use the -t (-- target) option to choose the disk manually.

HDDSuperTool is built using Ubuntu (actually xUbuntu) 14.01. I have tested back to Ubuntu 10, and also some Fedora versions. Ubuntu is Debian based, so I am surprised it it has issues running on another Debian system.
