Re: Problem loading numpy and other on a venv in a guix system

Hi Wojtek,

thanks for your help, indeed setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH solves the issue, but it is less than ideal as I have to first check exactly the PATH to set, and if I update guix this will also change I believe, still it is not so bad. I'd still like
to understand why this happens in the first place.

Best regards,
Mateus Rodrigues

Hi Mateus!

Indeed, when using virtualenv's numpy, this

    python3 -c 'import numpy'

fails with the error you posted. I seem to have been able to make numpy
happy by instead running Python like


LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/gnu/store/8qv5kb2fgm4c3bf70zcg9l6hkf3qzpw9-zlib-1.2.11/lib/
python3 -c 'import numpy'

If you use the `--container` and `--emulate-fhs` options to
`guix shell`, it is also possible to instead do

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/ python3 -c 'import numpy'

The `libz` guix package still needs to be included among the packages
passed to `guix shell` in this last case.

Also, given you're using virtualenv, you might find the `--network`
option to `guix shell` useful :)

I hope there isn't any dumb mistake in my solution... Good luck :)

Hello,

I've been using a guix shell with a couple of python packages and it
works fine,
however I'd also like to keep the option of using a virtualenv if
possible, the
thing is I'm having problem running modules like numpy, that depend on
non
python dependencies. The error I get when I try to load numpy in a venv
is:

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for many
reasons,
often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was installed.

and in the end:

Original error was: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or
directory

I have tried installing zlib directly, also tried to add my default
profile libs
path to the venv PATH, but to no avail until now. How can I solve this?
Or
maybe someone can point me in the direction that I have to take to
properly
debug this.

Best regards,
Mateus Rodrigues
