Can't run simple program

Help & Support

I’m not able to run a simple program by using archlinux binaries from the community repository. I was able to run crystal scripts in the past without issues.

Gc version

➜ ~ pacman -Qi gc |grep Versión
Versión : 8.0.4-3

Same error happens if I try to compile from source.

/usr/local/lib/libgc

Well that’s what’s messing you up, it’s probably some old and /special/ build of libgc.

This is Arch Linux, there’s no good reason to use /usr/local paths; just let the package manager do everything. Globally installing things manually is technical debt from the get-go.

Thanks Oprypin. The binary is from the default repository in Archlinux. Trying to compile it myself also leads to the same issue. Both things worked for me in the past. Please let me know if you need more information. You can see the version of gc package in my comment. My system is fully updated.

The version of gc package is irrelevant here. It resides in /usr/lib. In your error you can see /usr/local/lib. So I would not agree that everything is from Arch Linux repository. If you eliminate the foreign additions, everything will work.

For reference, here’s how /usr/local looks on a good system:

$ tree /usr/local    
/usr/local
├── bin
├── etc
├── games
├── include
├── lib
├── man
├── sbin
├── share
│   └── man -> ../man
└── src

That is, it’s empty.

Thanks @oprypin that was it. I probably messed up the installation trying another gc or something and forgot :)
