I’m running a devcontainer on the remote SSH machine. And C/C++ extension stopped working for me recently. I have the following messages in “C/C++” Output console:
Warning: Expected file /root/.cursor-server/extensions/anysphere.cpptools-2.0.0-linux-x64/bin/cpptools is missing.
Warning: Expected file /root/.cursor-server/extensions/anysphere.cpptools-2.0.0-linux-x64/bin/cpptools-srv is missing.

intelliSenseEngine is disabled
I tried reinstalling Cursor and removing ~/.cursor* on the remote host. Any tips how to debug this?
These files are really missing:

No libs are there.
Hi @dbabokin, the libc.so is not distributed with the extension. This indicates that the dynamic linker couldn’t find the library – which flavor of Linux are you on? You might need to install libc6 if it is not there.
(The other warnings about cpptools missing are expected)
Also, if you’re coming from the VSCode cpptools extension, you’ll need to configure clangd for LSP support. ClangD is bundled with our extension. This can be done by having your build utility (e.g. CMake) generate a compile_commands.json, that clangd then reads. The ClangD docs have more info for how to set this up.
I’m running in Ubuntu 22.04 container. I tried standard MS dev container and my own container, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04. I have clang and libc installed. What is libc version requirement in anysphere.cpptools-2.0.0 build for x64 linux?
I tried fresh mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:ubuntu-24.04 devcontainer - same problem. Any tips or suggestions how to debug are welcome.
Seeing the same thing.
Fresh container, installed anysphere c/c++ extension. Exact same error messages.
I also tried native remote execution. Nothing worked. I eventually switch to clangd.
