graal Initial install errors

Describe GraalVM and your environment :

GraalVM version or commit id if built from source: not yet installed
CE or EE: I don't know what this is
JDK version: JDK17
OS and OS Version: Fedora linux 39 KDE Plasma
Architecture: amd64
The output of java -Xinternalversion: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (17.0.7+4-jvmci-23.0-b10) for linux-amd64 JRE (17.0.7+4-jvmci-23.0-b10), built on Mar 24 2023 22:17:53 by "buildslave" with gcc 10.3.0

Have you verified this issue still happens when using the latest snapshot? You can find snapshot builds here: https://github.com/graalvm/graalvm-ce-dev-builds/releases Looking to install a stable version of graalpy

Describe the issue I'm a first-time linux user I'm simply trying to follow the installation steps from https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/python/ I've tried both pyenv and conda. Both are failing seemingly for the same reason: can't find posix library. However I can find libposix.so in multiple locations in my system. What am I doing wrong and how to fix this?

Code snippet or code repository that reproduces the issue

N/A

Steps to reproduce the issue On Linux Fedora 39 folow installation steps from follow the installation steps from https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/python/

Expected behavior graalpy virtual environment created

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here. Specially important are stack traces or log output. Feel free to link to gists or to screenshots if necesary python-build.20240219234059.26538.log

Tried both: 1) pyenv install graalpy-23.1.2 -- build failed 2) installed graalpy via conda, graalpy -m venv graalpy -- failed to create environment

command: pyenv install graalpy-23.1.2

The library above is present in the file system so I'm at a loss of what is wrong here The terminal output:

Traceback (most recent call last):

You may need to install the libxcrypt library that is required for the GraalPy native runtime: yum install libxcrypt-compat.

May 22 '24 12:05 timfel

IntelliJ IDEA from Flathub uses org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/23.08 runtime and doesn't include legacy xcrypt. I think graal should upgrade the xcrypt requirements.

FWIW, I ran into exactly this error on Fedora. The error message was not obvious as to what was wrong. Installing the libxcrypt-compat dependency (yum install libxcrypt-compat) worked for me. Thanks for the suggestion!

You may need to install the libxcrypt library that is required for the GraalPy native runtime: yum install libxcrypt-compat.

It worked for me too, after I got the following error when trying to run python on my terminal:
