Hi all, So I'm *trying* to use guix on Parabola Linux to provide the rubies and replace some other functionality of like chruby for instance.
I'm a bit of a noob with guix and even ruby, so it's a bit of a challenge. I've read through these nice notes[1] by Pjotr. The answers I'm looking for, may well be in there but I might have missed it. [1]: - https://gitlab.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/RUBY.org - https://gitlab.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/RUBYGEMS-Nokogiri.org I've also used the linked in script[2] which helps.

I type `bundle install` to install the gems. It goes and fetches the missing gems and installs them in /home/admin/.gem/sx7ih0vgp7q8zj7k58xjvnp3yghig0ll-ruby-2.4.3/2.4.0/gems/ That's great. I fire up the project[3] with: [3]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-docs (using an older commit because ruby25 is not yet in guix repos. $ bundle exec nanoc live Captain! We’ve been hit! LoadError: liblzma.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /home/admin/.gem/sx7ih0vgp7q8zj7k58xjvnp3yghig0ll-ruby-2.4.3/2.4.0/gems/nokogiri-1.7.2/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.so $ ldd /home/admin/.gem/sx7ih0vgp7q8zj7k58xjvnp3yghig0ll-ruby-2.4.3/2.4.0/gems/nokogiri-1.7.2/lib/nokogiri/nokogiri.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffff6b10000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f469080f000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f469060b000) liblzma.so.5 => /usr/lib/liblzma.so.5 (0x00007f46903e5000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00007f46901ce000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f468ffb0000) libcrypt.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f468fd78000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f468f9c1000) /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f4690f97000) Guessing the reason is because it seems to compile against the OS system and not the "guix system". And that could cause problems? Other gems also are like this. $ ldd /home/admin/.gem/sx7ih0vgp7q8zj7k58xjvnp3yghig0ll-ruby-2.4.3/2.4.0/gems/ffi-1.9.18/lib/ffi_c.so linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd1bdf1000) libffi.so.6 => /usr/lib/libffi.so.6 (0x00007f6af531e000) libpthread.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f6af5100000) libdl.so.2 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f6af4efc000) libcrypt.so.1 => /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f6af4cc4000) libm.so.6 => /usr/lib/libm.so.6 (0x00007f6af4978000) libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6af45c1000) /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f6af574c000) I could install ruby-nokogiri via guix but that provides 1.8 and I need 1.7. :( Is there a simple way of getting these gems installed to use guix system libs so things don't break? -- Divan
