Hi,

when I call guix, I get the error

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-call-libc-early-init.c: 37:
_dl_call_libc_early_init: Assertion `sym != NULL' failed!

`which guix` gives

/home/USER/.config/guix/current/bin/guix

I have the workaround to install guix for the user with

/var/guix/profiles/system-388-link/profile/bin/guix install guix # and all further packages it needed to build

and now `which guix` gives

/home/USER/.guix-profile/bin/guix

and guix works, but that does not look like a good solution.

Best wishes,
Arne

When did it start happening?

What does ‘uname -om’ return?

Is LD_LIBRARY_PATH set?

Could you share ~/.config/guix/current/manifest ?

Thanks in advance!

Ludo’.

It started happening a few weeks ago.

I found the cause now, though: I had

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

in my .profile, because that was once needed to get some non-guix-builds
working. Removing that and updating the core system (guix system
reconfigure …) and rebooting resolved the issue.

I still have some breakage left, though: On starting icecat, I see

OK (though I wouldn’t expect it to cause an assertion failure in ld.so).

IceCat is trying to load libg*.so from /run/current-system/profile/lib,
but those are linked against the old libc (2.31).

The solution is to reconfigure your system to the new libc (2.33), as
provided by current Guix:

  sudo guix system reconfigure …

HTH!
