Something is being messed up in the C libraries and I don't know how to fix it.
Context: My Development Setup
Environment: Python 3.11 (Pipenv)
Operating System: NixOS
I also installed a Python package: google-cloud-firestore which depends on C libraries. Now, I don't really know how to install the C library(ies) required to use google-cloud-firestore, so I just use steam-run. It basically runs my program in an FHS environment so I don't have to go to the trouble of installing dependencies manually.
That works great.
I run my program with this command:
steam-run pipenv run ...I can't run it with just:
pipenv run ...Gives me this error:
ImportError: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryRailway Side
On my Railway app, it works perfectly with:
Build: pipenv install
Start: pipenv run ...
The Problem
When I installed this Python library: https://pypi.org/project/libfaketime, the deployment broke.
It basically throws the same error as if I were not to use steam-run on my local machine.
I assume this library is not very compatible with nix filesystem.
Now I thought of using steam-run on Railway but I don't know how.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

It was working fine before.
It only became like that when I installed libfaketime

you would likely have a much easier time building your project with a Dockerfile instead of nixpacks

you would have to figure out all the nix packages your app will need to run and have nixpacks install them
I know how to write nix configurations. Can I use it on Railway being its based on nix?

you mean flakes?

that would not yet be supported, but if you know how to do something that it would only take you a few minutes to get accustomed with a Dockerfile, a Dockerfile is essentially just a list of commands to setup and run your app
Anyways, may I know the reason why the error occurs? Is it just the library messing up the system?

missing system library, yeah
