Anyone using Pants in NixOS ? I am having problems running recommended installation method of pants, using manual installation method. Everything was fine until Nix version 23.05 via setting

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${pkgs.stdenv.cc.cc.lib}/lib"

in shell.nix whenever I run pants. After upgrading to Nix version to 23.11, I am facing errors from that solution as well

ImportError: /nix/store/1n2l5law9g3b77hcfyp50vrhhssbrj5g-glibc-2.37-8/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.38' not found (required by /nix/store/myw67gkgayf3s2mniij7zwd79lxy8v0k-gcc-12.3.0-lib/lib/libstdc++.so.6)

Any help would be appreciated.

Seems more like a nix issue than a pants one 😬

what is the manual method recommended?

@flat-zoo-31952 I somehow made the manual installation method work again in Nix version 23.11. Installer script's

pants

was not working before either. I have been able to only make this method work > https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/manual-installation#manual-installation I am unable to make the installer script work. I get the following error after installation upon running `pants`:

Isolates your Pants from the elements.

Please select from the following boot commands:

<default> (when SCIE_BOOT is not set in the environment)  Detects the current Pants installation and launches it.
bootstrap-tools                                           Introspection tools for the Pants bootstrap process.
update                                                    Update scie-pants.

You can select a boot command by setting the SCIE_BOOT environment variable.

ah so using the scie-pants version did not work? that's a problem, because I think there are plans to discontinue support for the

./pants

scripts at some point
