I want to run some binaries which were not compiled on GuixSD (e.g. games from Humble Bundle).
Two issues: > /path/to/foreign/binary /path/to/foreign/binary: No such file or directory This is because the path to the linker is wrong: > file /path/to/foreign/binary /path/to/foreign/binary: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=edf4cff78e6710ff4f7ac14cb99b38aefed2659e, stripped I can fix it with > patchelf --set-interpreter "$(realpath "$(which sh)")" /path/to/foreign/binary (Is this the commended way?) Now it starts up but the linker fails to find some libraries: > /path/to/foreign/binary /path/to/foreign/binary: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > ldd /path/to/foreign/binary linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd71355000) libdl.so.2 => /gnu/store/4sqaib7c2dfjv62ivrg9b8wa7bh226la-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fa746ffd000) libpthread.so.0 => /gnu/store/4sqaib7c2dfjv62ivrg9b8wa7bh226la-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fa746ddf000) librt.so.1 => /gnu/store/4sqaib7c2dfjv62ivrg9b8wa7bh226la-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c/lib/librt.so.1 (0x00007fa746bd7000) libstdc++.so.6 => not found libm.so.6 => /gnu/store/4sqaib7c2dfjv62ivrg9b8wa7bh226la-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007fa74688b000) libgcc_s.so.1 => not found libc.so.6 => /gnu/store/4sqaib7c2dfjv62ivrg9b8wa7bh226la-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa7464d9000) /gnu/store/4sqaib7c2dfjv62ivrg9b8wa7bh226la-glibc-2.26.105-g0890d5379c/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa747201000) The "missing" libraries are indeed in my ~/.guix-profile/lib. This folder is properly referenced in the environment: > env | grep LIBRARY_PATH LIBRARY_PATH=/home/ambrevar/.guix-profile/lib My understanding is that the LIBRARY_PATH is only used for compiling, not at runtime. But then how come some libraries are found and not others? Or is it just true for the libs in the glibc package, because ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 is part of it, so it searchs its own path? If I export LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the value of LIBRARY_PATH, then it works: > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LIBRARY_PATH > /path/to/foreign/binary Is there a better way? -- Pierre Neidhardt Price does not include taxes.
