hmm ill check it out

[wgumenyuk]

The issue appears to stem from the entrypoint shell script attempting to run a binary with Node.js. As a workaround, I modified lines 18 and 20 of ~/.local/share/pnpm/opencode, removing node from the command and running the binary directly.

Interestingly, reinstalling with pnpm worked without the need to modify the shell script (OpenCode version 1.0.110).

Same here on MacOS and pnpm. opencode 1.0.122. These lines aren't right:

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  exec "$basedir/node"  "$basedir/global/5/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/opencode-ai/bin/opencode" "$@"
else
  exec node  "$basedir/global/5/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/opencode-ai/bin/opencode" "$@"
fi

Another one here, In my case was that it was deleted from the system I couldn't find opencode then I reinstalled it like @wgumenyuk did but it didn't work... and run into the same problem it seems the script is trying to call a binary hence the ELF error so we need to test for ELF or JS and exec accordingly

so by removing **node ** from this line (20)

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  exec "$basedir/node" "$basedir/global/5/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/opencode-ai/bin/opencode" "$@"
else
  **exec node  "$basedir/global/5/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/opencode-ai/bin/opencode" "$@"**
fi

and just using

if [ -x "$basedir/node" ]; then
  exec "$basedir/node" "$basedir/global/5/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/opencode-ai/bin/opencode" "$@"
else
  **exec "$basedir/global/5/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/opencode-ai/bin/opencode" "$@"**
fi
