how to undo? I have now critical errors with almost every command

have you solved it? I meet the same problem. @Georodin

I solved it like this:

  1. Find what the variable has stored $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Example result:

/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64:/opt/glibc-2.18
  1. Remove the following:
:/opt/glibc-2.18

It would look like this (for example):

/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64
  1. Save it to variable $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib64

If all commands fails after adding new glibc in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, simply try
unset $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
