Unable to install chef-server on Debian wheezy

I am trying to install chef-server on Debian but I am failing to do so. Here are the steps I followed:

$ dpkg -i  chef-server-core_12.17.5-1_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package chef-server-core.
(Reading database ... 23329 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking chef-server-core (from chef-server-core_12.17.5-1_amd64.deb) ...

Setting up chef-server-core (12.17.5-1) ...

Below step is failing:

$ chef-server-ctl reconfigure
 /opt/opscode/embedded/bin/ruby: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /opt/opscode/embedded/lib/libruby.so.2.2)

Though I can see the package available for "Red Hat Enterprise Linux | SUSE Linux Enterprise Server | Ubuntu" from downloads.

Could anyone please help here if you would be able to compile on Debian.

Thanks in advance!

As per the suggestions from coderanger and the continuous research. Finally, I end up successfully configuring the chef. My configurations are:

  1. Debian 9, 64 bit.
  2. Chef-Server version: 12.17.5.
  3. Chef Manage version: 2.5.8.
  4. Chef development kit version: 2.4.17.

I have downloaded the above installers and the installation steps which are followed as below:

#Chef-Server
$ dpkg -i chef-server-core_12.17.5-1_amd64.deb
$ chef-server-ctl reconfigure

#Chef-Manage
$ dpkg -i chef-manage_2.5.8-1_amd64.deb
$ chef-manage-ctl reconfigure
$ chef-server-ctl reconfigure

#Chef-DK
$ dpkg -i chefdk_2.4.17-1_amd64.deb

It may help someone who faces the similar issue! Thanks

As stated on the download page you got that deb from, and noted in the question, the installer is for Ubuntu 16.04 or 14.04, both of which use a newer glibc ABI. You could try the 14.04 packages if you haven't but I think they are newer than 2.14 too, you might have to look for the last release built for 12.04 or 10.04, not even sure which those are though. Overall, we do not support installation on anything other than the stated platforms, meaning we do not recommend any version of Debian at all (for Chef Server, chef-client works fine and is 100% supported).
