Glxinfo returns error - libpthread.so.0: undefined symbol: __libc_siglongjmp, version GLIBC_PRIVATE

Problem description:
glxinfo returns a library error

Expected behavior:
glxinfo should run without error and return info about the virtual video device. tested the same on nix using ubuntu on a physical machine and found it runs without error and returns virtualgl device info

Actual behavior:
glxinfo fails to run and crashes with an error

Steps to reproduce:

  1. create a new repl, bash (or C or C++, template doesnt matter, need shell access)
  2. click shell tab
  3. in the shell tab, type the following:
    ~/nixglxinfotest1$ glxinfo

output:
glxinfo: command not installed. Multiple versions of this command were found in Nix.
Select one to run (or press Ctrl-C to cancel):
<you will be given 4 options, these all return the same library error. i chose virtualgl>
Adding virtualgl to replit.nix
success
/nix/store/s9k1a324zk0yxajlqhfly7gwmajixc42-virtualgl-3.0.2
glxinfo: symbol lookup error: /nix/store/s9qbqh7gzacs7h68b2jfmn9l6q4jwfjz-glibc-2.33-59/lib/libpthread.so.0: undefined symbol: __libc_siglongjmp, version GLIBC_PRIVATE

It also occurred to me; see https://replit.com/@LGASC/thiserror-example.
It seems to apply to any executable making use of __libc_siglongjmp.

i was able to get a workaround going in this replit

https://replit.com/@qcm/GLFW#script.sh

I couldn’t figure out what was going wrong. I went into the .replit file and changed something

OLD VALUE:

[nix]
channel = "stable-22_11"

NEW VALUE:

channel = "fffffasfsfdastable-22_11"

Result:

Glxinfo works, no more __libc_siglongjmp error

i’ll look into this further, perhaps i need to set an older nix channel version. But - setting an invalid nix channel in my .replit file fixed my issue, i am now able to run glxinfo in a replit

For me, setting the channel to stable-22_11 fixed the problem :face_with_spiral_eyes:

This issue has now been fixed.

The problem was introduced because we used to export X11 libraries from a different Nix channel via LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This is no longer done, and glxinfo should work in any channel now.
