From inside nix-shell, I run cabal build (after running cabal update) and I get the following error:

Failed to build libsystemd-journal-1.4.5.0.0.0.0.1.

cabal: Failed to build libsystemd-journal-1.4.5.0.0.0.0.1 (which is required
by academy-project-0.0.0). See the build log above for details.

Can anyone help?

(Is there perhaps a C library that needs to be installed (due to systemd/sd-journal.h: No such file or directory) but isn't the whole point of Nix that it takes care of that sort of thing automatically?)

You probably need to install libsystemd-dev.

  • I have installed libsystemd-dev but I still get the same error.

  • What does find / -name sd-journal.h say? Commented Sep 19, 2023 at 20:00
