Claude Code 2.1.245 Fixes a glibc 2.44 Startup Crash
Claude Code 2.1.245 fixes a startup crash affecting Linux distributions that ship glibc 2.44, including Arch Linux, CachyOS, and Fedora Rawhide.
What it is
Claude Code 2.1.245 is a maintenance release of Anthropic's CLI coding agent.
What it does
It fixes a crash on startup that hit any Linux distro shipping glibc 2.44, naming Arch Linux, CachyOS, and Fedora Rawhide specifically as affected.
Why it matters
Rolling-release distros ship new glibc versions fast, so a bug like this quietly locks out an entire slice of the Linux user base until someone traces it back to the libc version.
