Thank you for your helpful reply. These are the two lines I added to my `.bashrc` that resolve the error I was getting: ``` unset GHC_PACKAGE_PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/run/current-system/profile/lib/ ``` Note: The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variables was empty. If it was not I would have appended to the existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
