Is there a way to run this on a system that has libffi6 instead of 7?

I uploaded a new tarball with the correct libffi version to my personal site. Does it work for you? https://files.dthompson.us/the-test-subject.tar.gz

Thanks but I just noticed the other thread which says there’s no way to run it on glibcs older than 2.29; I have 2.28.

Ah, bummer.  Sorry about that. I was hoping that building on an LTS Ubuntu release was being conservative. Not conservative enough, I guess.

Getting this to run didn't prove too difficult in Guix, but I sadly encountered some crashes afterwards. Some of them were probably the result of unfortunate timing – at least I don't know how to reproduce them. However, not being able to type an empty command into the terminal is a clear oversight ;)

Oof... yeah that's a particularly silly bug. The fix is one line and it's pushed to master, FWIW.

Hey, raters! Please see below for information about known issues and potential workarounds:

Some important help information was accidentally omitted from the terminal help output:

door status - get isochamber door status
door unlock - initiate isochamber unlock sequence

libffi.so.7 not found:

Try renaming the-test-subject/lib/libffi.so.6 to the-test-subject/lib/libffi.so.7, or installing libffi via your system's package manager.

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found:

Your system glibc is too old. Currently no workaround.

Wow, that was an amazing experience!

I got an … unfortunate ending. Should NOT have played this right before bed!

Chickadee is looking really good!
