solana-install-init fails to locate shared libraries on Nixos

[gokumoto-fuckgithub]

Problem

This occurs on a Nixos host.

[root@sol:~/sol]# sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.8.0/install)"
downloading v1.8.0 installer
environment: line 155: /tmp/tmp.Yd1lTpmSRK/solana-install-init: No such file or directory

---

If we run with sh -x:

...
+ command -v curl
+ program=curl
+ '[' http://release.solana.com/v1.8.0/solana-install-init-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu = --check ']'
+ '[' curl = curl ']'
+ curl -sSfL http://release.solana.com/v1.8.0/solana-install-init-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -o /tmp/tmp.7cCb8oUfTG/solana-install-init
+ ensure chmod u+x /tmp/tmp.7cCb8oUfTG/solana-install-init
+ chmod u+x /tmp/tmp.7cCb8oUfTG/solana-install-init
+ '[' '!' -x /tmp/tmp.7cCb8oUfTG/solana-install-init ']'
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ ignore /tmp/tmp.7cCb8oUfTG/solana-install-init v1.8.0
+ /tmp/tmp.7cCb8oUfTG/solana-install-init v1.8.0
environment: line 155: /tmp/tmp.7cCb8oUfTG/solana-install-init: No such file or directory

If we run ldd on that:

[root@sol:~/sol]# ldd /tmp/tmp.7cCb8oUfTG/solana-install-init

This is after installing both the openssl and openssl.dev nixos packages.

Hi! NixOS isn't an officially supported platform. We'd be happy to entertain external contributions that bring it in line though

I once made a start with packaging Solana for Nix, but I hit a roadblock with the custom BPF toolchain and the way it’s glued together with scripts that download binaries from the internet. It’s going to be a bit of a challenge to build the BPF SDK with Nix. The pull request is here: NixOS/nixpkgs#121009

[archseer]

Agreed, packaging the BPF tools is a nightmare. This attempt seems to have gotten the furthest: saber-hq/saber-overlay#3

I've also been eyeing https://github.com/drozdziak1/nix-solana-sdk/blob/master/solana-bpf-tools-bin.nix

Hi,

I'm seeing the same issue on my NixOS machine. Has there been any progress on this issue?
