I brought this to the help mailing list, and now I see it as a particular bug in guix. When I change into a guix environment and try to run a Python project that uses the WebKitGTK2 library, it cannot find the specified shared library, even though it is in $LIBRARY_PATH. As a result, the project crashes. This does not happen when I call guix build. On a side note, guix build fails due to another error (possibly related).
Thanks in advance for looking into this. -Jesse Package Definition: #! see https://github.com/jendrikseipp/rednotebook !# (define-module (custom packages rednotebook) #:use-module (guix packages) #:use-module (guix download) #:use-module (guix build-system python) #:use-module (guix licenses)) (define-public rednotebook (package (name "rednotebook") (version "2.11.1") (source (origin (method url-fetch) (uri (string-append "https://github.com/jendrikseipp/rednotebook/archive/v"; version ".tar.gz")) (sha256 (base32 "15n1ziypfj3lzpvhha7r637zrb259l9yrcsvkic9cg5mndiaivs3")))) (build-system python-build-system) (inputs `(("python" ,(@ (gnu packages python) python-3)))) (propagated-inputs `(("python-pygobject" ,(@ (gnu packages glib) python-pygobject)) ("gtk+" ,(@ (gnu packages gtk) gtk+)) ("gtksourceview" ,(@ (gnu packages gtk) gtksourceview-3)) ("webkitgtk" ,(@ (gnu packages webkit) webkitgtk-2.24)) ("python-pyyaml" ,(@ (gnu packages python-xyz) python-pyyaml)))) (home-page "https://www.rednotebook.app";) (synopsis #f) (description "RedNotebook is a modern desktop journal.
