Understanding missing dynlib files on darwin

Help
1

Hi there,

when I’m in my nix-shell environments. I’m often seeing errors like this:

> /nix/store/1v7fqs5ihrp6l44sncsji32c64ldgsvy-ruby-3.2.2/lib/libruby-3.2.2.dylib' (no such file)

and, the error is correct these file’s dont exist.

However, for eg, this one does:

>/nix/store/3zj4z5h2mdmiimvw52mzbjxgdbhh0h01-ruby-3.2.2/lib/libruby-3.2.2.dylib

Is anyone able to help me understand why this and similar situations might exist or what it means, and what I can do about it?

thanks

OK, solved… so for anyone else that is looking for something like this, the cause, in this case, was that files in the gem cache (.local/share/gem/…) were links to files that no longer existed, flushing out this cache and rebundling gave me a working ruby.
