[siscia]

it seems exactly the same problem.

It was a problem about the RPATH contaings a path to /tmp/build.../.libs if I recal correctly. In my investigation it was libopts.so fault.

Can you confirm as well?

[herostrat]

This is my first contact Nix, so I have honestly no idea.
How could I confirm or fix it?

In the logs at least I cannot find a reference to libopts.so

[siscia]

Ok, I got around the issue with a simple overlay.

Either I am missing something or the recipe is somehow shallow.

In order to fix the issue I have created a file in ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/redbeardlab.nix with this content:

self: super: {
        autogen = super.autogen.overrideAttrs ( old: {
                postInstall = old.postInstall + ''
                        for f in "$bin"/bin/*; do
                                local nrp="$(patchelf --print-rpath "$f" | sed -E 's@(:|^)'$TEMP'[^:]*:@\1@g')"
                                patchelf --set-rpath "$nrp" "$f"
                        done
                '';
        });
}

For me we can close, I will make a PR to the channel.

Avoid using nix-env -i, use nix-env -iA autogen instead.

autogen builds fine as far as I can tell. If you open an issue, use the template to describe which nixpkgs you're using.

Closing this as invalid.

[siscia]

No, unfortunately two different people report a problem.

Either there is a problem in the documentation or there is a problem in the recipe.

The PR above seems to fix the problem, is that invalid as well?

[ztzg]

@FRidh: I can confirm that I see the problem when building outside of the sandbox on RHEL. @siscia's PR #106758 works for me and looks correct.

[r-burns]

I can reproduce this error on an unprivileged (i.e. no daemon) Nix installation by disabling the sandbox.

nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A autogen --option sandbox false

It seems to me that this is because the sandboxed build uses /build as the build directory, which is hardcoded in the package's rpath removal sed command. However, unsandboxed builds happen in /tmp/nix-build-* which is not matched by the sed command.
