[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Guix,

Having issues running rofi on my Guix+Arch Linux setup.
Getting this when running it:
# rofi -show run
rofi: Relink
`/gnu/store/88wvqp60hbrdvbp0xsqad5c6njjfshcw-libpng-1.6.28/lib/libpng16.so.16'
with
`/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/libpthread.so.0'
for IFUNC symbol `longjmp'
rofi: Relink
`/gnu/store/2sq8w3x8glbjlfn22im6nwwycmbdlzws-freetype-2.7.1/lib/libfreetype.so.6'
with
`/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/libpthread.so.0'
for IFUNC symbol `longjmp'
Failed to set locale.

then it exits.

I've set:
GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Using glibc-locales

It seems to only be affecting rofi, I have no issues running emacs.

I might have missed something, guix is still new to me.

thanks

Not sure about this one; it seems harmless though.

Does setting LC_ALL instead of LANG help?  The LC_* variables take
precedence over LANG.

setting LC_ALL didn't work. Same error.

Did a strace on it just to see what's going on.
Here's the last part just before it exits

It's looking for locale specific things in /run/current-system. Which Arch
doesn't have. Is that a GuixSD specific thing?  Don't have GuixSD installed
at the moment so cannot check myself.

I've attached the whole strace log incase there's something more.

How recent is the guix you have? Did you run guix pull and
guix package -u .* recently?

Yes, that’s a GuixSD-specific thing, but if you set GUIX_LOCPATH, then
$GUIX_LOCPATH should take precedence.  The strace output you sent
suggests that GUIX_LOCPATH was unset, wasn’t it?

For example, I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ GUIX_LOCPATH=/foo strace -e open true --help

[...]

open("/foo/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/run/current-system/locale/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/gnu/store/ybpgv1v7606xw7mafda66w10hiynpiw2-glibc-2.25/lib/gconv/gconv-modules", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/foo/2.25/en_US.utf8/LC_MEASUREMENT", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

[...]

Yeah I think it was unset, looked in my .zshrc and I had just added

GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale

forgot to add export. However it still complained when I set it properly.

I installed the one listed in arch AUR, which is 0.13.0 then did a guix
pull a week ago or so.

Did one this morning and that fixed it! Rofi now starts without any issues.

Question though, do I need to add the regex when updating the packages?
It seems it updated all my packages by just doing guix package -u.

Anyway thanks for helping out, sorry to bother you with a non-issue. You
can mark this bug as PEBCAK

That’s right.  When “-u” is the last option on the command line you
don’t need to pass a regular expression.
