[demirdegerli]

solved

[EDIT] same solution i used before:
@C00LVansh's solution

[torresLuis16]

what is the solution?

[samirop12]

whats the solution

[rofrol]

libuuid needs to be available in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Probably you need to install some package https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23579681/error-in-rstudio-libuuid-so-1-cannot-open-shared-object-file-no-such-file-or

For nixos this is solution https://discourse.nixos.org/t/node2nix-issues/10762/2

I'm getting the same error on Repl Node.JS Version 16 using Linux. And none of the solutions worked for me

[KimmyKx]

I was getting the same error, while using node-canvas in repl.it and all you need is to downgrade the node version to 16.10.0 npm install node@16.10.0, works like a charm for me.

[APOORVBG]

whats solution :(

@Edemarz @APOORVBG
If you are facing this error at replit
Follow this steps to fix it:

1. Click on three dots and then click on show hidden files
2. go to file name 'replit.nix'
3. now under deps add:
   pkgs.libuuid
4. now after deps go to a fresh line (make sure there are no syntax conflicts), and paste this:
   env = { LD_LIBRARY_PATH = pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath [pkgs.libuuid]; };
5. Tada 🎉 your error is fixed, enjoy and thank me later :)

I was getting the same error, while using node-canvas in repl.it and I did npm install node@16.10.0, works like a charm for me.
Worked for myself

[FlixzSamurai]

well it didn't work because i followed the steps and it spammed the same thing over and over and over again

[IdkButHey]

Are you sure you did it correctly? Maybe try rereading the steps and following the exact order.

[josephrocca]

In case other's make the same mistake I did while following C00lVansh's instructions: Make sure env is within the {pkgs} block rather than outside it, like this:

{ pkgs }: {
  deps = [
    pkgs.nodejs-18_x
    pkgs.nodePackages.typescript-language-server
    pkgs.yarn
    pkgs.replitPackages.jest
    pkgs.libuuid
  ];
  env = { LD_LIBRARY_PATH = pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath [pkgs.libuuid];  }; 
}

[VisoredPrograms]

Where is this file?? I don't see it

[felipelalli]

None of the tips above worked for me in NixOS, so I found my own solution:

Edit /etc/nixos/configuration.nix as sudo and make these changes:

{ config, lib, pkgs, modulesPath, ... }:

let
  mainUser = "myuser";
  homeDirectory = config.users.users.${mainUser}.home;
in
{
  # (...)

  # List packages installed in system profile. To search, run:
  # $ nix search wget
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    libuuid
  ];

  environment = {
    sessionVariables = {
      LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "${pkgs.lib.makeLibraryPath [pkgs.libuuid]}";
    };
  };
}

Then:
sudo nixos-rebuild switch

Unfortunately, to take full effect in my env test only after a reboot.

[RashiqAzhan]

Still broken for me with Nix. I'm using devbox. @demirdegerli @C00LVansh if you have any ideas.
