ImportError: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Something is being messed up in the C libraries and I don't know how to fix it.
Context: My Development Setup
Environment: Python 3.11 (Pipenv)
Operating System: NixOS
I also installed a Python package:
google-cloud-firestore which depends on C libraries. Now, I don't really know how to install the C library(ies) required to use google-cloud-firestore, so I just use steam-run. It basically runs my program in an FHS environment so I don't have to go to the trouble of installing dependencies manually.
That works great.
I run my program with this command:
I can't run it with just:
Gives me this error:
Railway Side
On my Railway app, it works perfectly with:
Build: pipenv install
Start: pipenv run ...
The Problem
When I installed this Python library: https://pypi.org/project/libfaketime, the deployment broke.
It basically throws the same error as if I were not to use steam-run on my local machine.
I assume this library is not very compatible with nix filesystem.
Now I thought of using steam-run on Railway but I don't know how.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!Solution:Jump to solution
you would likely have a much easier time building your project with a Dockerfile instead of nixpacks

Btw, that error comes from the FIrestore library.
It was working fine before.
It only became like that when I installed
libfaketimeSolution

I see
I have 0 experience with Docker
Is there a way to fix this without it?
you would have to figure out all the nix packages your app will need to run and have nixpacks install them
I know how to write nix configurations. Can I use it on Railway being its based on nix?
you mean flakes?
yes
that would not yet be supported, but if you know how to do something that it would only take you a few minutes to get accustomed with a Dockerfile, a Dockerfile is essentially just a list of commands to setup and run your app
I see. I'll try to learn it.
Thanks for the help!
Anyways, may I know the reason why the error occurs? Is it just the library messing up the system?
missing system library, yeah
