Support NixOS about bob

[Hubro]

Actually never mind, I did a little more research on how to make pre-compiled binaries work on NixOS and I found this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/522823/17214

Apparently there's a NixOS program called nix-ld that is built-in since 22.05. Enabling it sets up symlinks that let executables with hard coded library paths work.

It still doesn't make AppImages work (fully), but it does make --appimage-extract work! This means that bob now works without any changes.

To any NixOS user that finds this thread, you basically just need to add:

{
  programs.nix-ld.enable = true;
}

And bob will work with no changes.

I guess it's time to rollback to using tar.gz neovim provided, glad they didn't stop supporting it.

I have maybe the same issue, when doing bob install nightly (stable works fine) I get:

Downloaded version nightly to /home/mmayer/.local/share/bob/nightly.appimage
  [00:00:00] [█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████] 17.35MiB/17.35MiB (953.67MiB/s, 0s)
Feb 15 08:55:32.233 ERROR Error: No such file or directory (os error 2)

But I'm not on NixOS but using nix package manager/home-manager on Ubuntu so I can't set nix-ld.enable=true. Any other known workaround for this, maybe @Hubro ?

If you're on Ubuntu then this definitely isn't the same issue. Ubuntu follows FHS and basic dynamic links should work.

From the error message, it could be an issue with dynamic links, a missing binary that Bob requires or any number of other things.

Are there any log files with more information, or is it possible to enable debug logging or verbose output?
