Can't run standalone executable on Fedora 41

[mbforbes]

Hi there, this might be a bug but wanted to open discussion first. Thank you so much for Tailwind and all you do!

I'm trying to run Tailwind on an environment out of my control that doesn't support Node, so I'm attempting to use the standalone executable. It's a Fedora 41 system on x86-64. I'm using v4.1.7.

I get an error that it can't find the input.css file I've made in the same directory:

$ ./tailwindcss -i input.css -o output.css
error: File not found: "input.css"

# just to show the file exists and its permissions:
$ ls -l input.css | awk '{print $1, $9}'
-rw-r--r-- input.css

When I run the executable on its own, it seems to just run Bun:

$ ./tailwindcss --help
Bun is a fast JavaScript runtime, package manager, bundler, and test runner. (1.1.43+76800b049)

Usage: bun <command> [...flags] [...args]
...


$ ./tailwindcss init
note: package.json already exists, configuring existing project

(when I first ran init, it was running Bun's project setup)

(I've also tried the -musl build which doesn't run with the error cannot execute: required file not found. I think this is a deeper (linker?) error we can ignore and assume I should run the standard build.)

It seems there's maybe an issue with how the standalone exe is packaged for Fedora?

Many thanks for any help or advice!
