Reinstallation is not an option since I run on a large number of LINUX/Windows/MAC machines, things have to work period. Also it seems to me that somehow I should be able to find this libc6 glibc installation. Locate shows nothing but apt that puts it in names of some files. I will ask around here with other MAC experts. Presently, my hack works brilliantly but I prefer a proper solution of course.
