Herm, can you try:

make clean
make dev

and then paste logs here

Seems I need another shared library for dev

[lomenzel]

make clean and make build still results in the original error

[lomenzel]

i added now a bunch of ld-librarys, make build has still the same error but make dev now ends with:

Hi @lomenzel, the prerequisites for building our app can be found here: https://github.com/janhq/jan?tab=readme-ov-file#pre-requisites. It requires Node.js version 20 or higher. From the log you uploaded, it appears you are using Node.js 18. Could you please upgrade to Node.js 20 and see if that resolves the issue? Thank you.

[lomenzel]

i tried node 20 and 21 both result in the same error

Hello,

Could you possibly use a more common operating system like Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, or CentOS? I attempted to replicate the issue by installing NixOS on our Proxmox cluster, but unfortunately, it was not successful. I will be closing this ticket here as we currently do not support or test on NixOS. Thank you for your interest in our product.
