Hi all! I'm trying to run guix on top of debian stable/bookworm (12.5,
libc6=2.36) but am blocked by
> error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object
> file: No such file or directory
Currently, I'm only having luck using guix like
/usr/bin/guix shell -NC --share=/gnu --share=/var/guix/
--share=$HOME/.guix-profile guix nss-certs
I got here afer using the install script and doing a 'guix pull && guix package
-u'. Now guix dies before it can do anything!
guix --help
/gnu/store/ni2dckdc0lcb6b77b6q3qfy2mr60z8c2-guile-wrapper/bin/guile:
error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory
I suspect glibc version mismatches are causing a problem (guix=2.33;deb
[email protected] (?);debian=2.36).
This is a warning from ldd on guix's version of bash:
/gnu/store/5h2w4qi9hk1qzzgi1w83220ydslinr4s-glibc-2.33/lib/libc.so.6:
version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6)
For what it's worth, in debian, ldd shows libX11 on libc!?
ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6|grep X11
libX11.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libX11.so.6 (0x00007f7dfca49000)
apt-cache policy libc6 # Installed: 2.36-9+deb12u7
cat /etc/debian_version # 12.5
For debuging below, I'm using the installer version of guix instead of the one
in my user's home profile.
I'm using the 'bash' package (arbitrarily) to inspect when/how libX11 is a
problem
'guix shell' without --container always errors out. But when I include 'glibc'
in the package list, libX11 is not found.
