The current OpenCV package (opencv@4.8.0) fails to load on a pure GNU
Guix system, the error reports that some part of OpenCV isn't able to
find the libGL.so.1 library.
My GNU Guix description:
Generation 83 Feb 05 2024 16:30:36 (current)
guix a3df20d
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: a3df20db8c3b9c819db7ca29bf014e2544e389d4
To reproduce the issue
guix shell python \
python-numpy \
opencv \
--pure \
-- python3 -c 'import cv2'
And shows the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/<redacted>/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py",
line 181, in <module>
bootstrap()
File "/home/<redacted>/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/cv2/__init__.py",
line 153, in bootstrap
native_module = importlib.import_module("cv2")
File
"/gnu/store/8s8k2v6b5b7lyf5y5n534cjd9sipgas6-python-3.10.7/lib/python3.10/importlib/__init__.py",
line 126, in import_module
return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
ImportError: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
I tried investigating why the error happened without luck as I'm not sure
in what place OpenCV is trying to load libGL.so.1.
