That’s right.  When “-u” is the last option on the command line you
don’t need to pass a regular expression.

Yeah I think it was unset, looked in my .zshrc and I had just added

GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale

forgot to add export. However it still complained when I set it properly.

I installed the one listed in arch AUR, which is 0.13.0 then did a guix
pull a week ago or so.

Did one this morning and that fixed it! Rofi now starts without any issues.

Question though, do I need to add the regex when updating the packages?
It seems it updated all my packages by just doing guix package -u.

Anyway thanks for helping out, sorry to bother you with a non-issue. You
can mark this bug as PEBCAK

Yes, that’s a GuixSD-specific thing, but if you set GUIX_LOCPATH, then
$GUIX_LOCPATH should take precedence.  The strace output you sent
suggests that GUIX_LOCPATH was unset, wasn’t it?

For example, I get:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
$ GUIX_LOCPATH=/foo strace -e open true --help

[...]

open("/foo/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT 
(No such file or directory)
open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", 
O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache",
 O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/gconv/gconv-modules",
 O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/foo/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_MEASUREMENT", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)

[...]

How recent is the guix you have? Did you run guix pull and
guix package -u .* recently?

setting LC_ALL didn't work. Same error.

Did a strace on it just to see what's going on.
Here's the last part just before it exits

It's looking for locale specific things in /run/current-system. Which Arch
doesn't have. Is that a GuixSD specific thing?  Don't have GuixSD installed
at the moment so cannot check myself.

I've attached the whole strace log incase there's something more.

Not sure about this one; it seems harmless though.

Does setting LC_ALL instead of LANG help?  The LC_* variables take
precedence over LANG.

bug#28168: rofi - Failed to set locale and relink messages

[Fredrik Salomonsson]

Hi Guix,

Having issues running rofi on my Guix+Arch Linux setup.
Getting this when running it:
# rofi -show run
rofi: Relink
`/gnu/store/88wvqp60hbrdvbp0xsqad5c6njjfshcw-libpng-1.6.28/lib/libpng16.so.16'
with
`/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/libpthread.so.0'
for IFUNC symbol `longjmp'
rofi: Relink
`/gnu/store/2sq8w3x8glbjlfn22im6nwwycmbdlzws-freetype-2.7.1/lib/libfreetype.so.6'
with
`/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/libpthread.so.0'
for IFUNC symbol `longjmp'
Failed to set locale.

then it exits.

I've set:
GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Using glibc-locales

It seems to only be affecting rofi, I have no issues running emacs.

I might have missed something, guix is still new to me.

thanks
