Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/usr/bin/ldd'

[milahu]

this is on nixos linux, where there is no /usr/bin/ldd

the only FHS binaries in nixos are /usr/bin/env and /bin/sh

both files are symlinks

stat /usr/bin/env /bin/sh  | grep File

  File: /usr/bin/env -> /nix/store/xq4g38m5ppg78z7bzfxyy2s8ii693k74-coreutils-9.1/bin/env
  File: /bin/sh -> /nix/store/rcr0k2c7yl708k264k2jb9f6zdzglbz7-bash-interactive-5.1-p16/bin/sh

I just had the same issue...

The error happens because it tries to read /usr/bin/ldd (this does not work well on non-FHS)

magic-string-rs/node/binding.js

Line 131 in ed8e993

isMusl = readFileSync('/usr/bin/ldd', 'utf8').includes('musl')

magic-string-rs/node/binding.js

Line 161 in ed8e993

isMusl = readFileSync('/usr/bin/ldd', 'utf8').includes('musl')

A possible workaround is to just symlink it (configuration.nix)

systemd.tmpfiles.rules = [
  "L+    /usr/bin/ldd   -    -    -     -    ${lib.getBin pkgs.glibc}/bin/ldd"
];

But the thing is... that binding.js file is auto-generated by napi-rs when you run npm build, and this new generated version seems to have fixed it.

This can be seen on this recent MR #25, which is completely unrelated to this issue, but ends up fixing it by accident because it was built with a more recent version of napi-rs (I assume).

i.e.: This issue could be easily resolved by simply updating napi-rs and running npm build... But I think this repository is abandoned.
