nix-shell -p lua fails with this error:
_addToLuaPath called for dir /nix/store/wnl9qpnhayry14lhcbdafhadsjwsdr6p-patchelf-0.15.0
[ble: exit 127]
(The second line is just because I’m using blesh, so I don’t think it has anything to do with nix)
nix-shell --pure -p lua works as expected and I can run lua, so I thought it might be a conflicting package. So I removed lua from configuration.nix and ran nix-collect-garbage, even rebooted, however the issue still persists.
Putting it back into configuration.nix also works as expected, and I can run lua.
The strangest part is that everything worked perfectly as expected yesterday but stopped working today. The only consequential thing I’ve done since then I think is add a library to nix-ld, but I tried removing that and the issue persists.
I need an environment with lua to develop a C application that interfaces the lua shared libraries, which compiled fine yesterday, but can’t any longer because the environment doesn’t work.
I’m out of ideas, and any insights would be much appreciated!
