Unsure if community and the others also need it, generalized the FHS as an argument so it can be easily added for others that download executables aswell

I just realized that this could be solved aswell by adding zlib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

adding zlib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH..

This should be avoid as I believe it will override the existing ld path. Probably not too much of a concern with just zlib, but should probably be avoided.

So should I go forward with the FHS or include zlib in other ways?

Hey @mkg20001 I tried out this patch and there is one issue - it loads whole IntelliJ into chroot and that impacts the terminal as well :/
I believe that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the only option

In rustup we solved this by having a patchelf patch that would be applied to downloaded binaries. However I assume this is not possible here since idea is not built from source. One shameless self-plug would be https://github.com/Mic92/nix-ld as a bandaid. LD_LIBRARY_PATH might work to, it just could be problematic if your development environment uses a libc different than the jetbrains IDE beeing used and it might also affect programs started as a subprocess i.e. in the integrated terminal in a negative way.

I marked this as stale due to inactivity. → More info
