m1 darwin issues

I am not sure if it was a recent macOS update that broke plan9port, but now I get this message:

bin/acme: exec devdraw: No such file or directory
acme: can't open display: muxrpc: unexpected eof

If I recall correctly it was working well a few months ago. I'm not sure when was the last time I tried plan9port.

A bit more info about your setup would help. How recent is your plan9port build? What version of MacOS? Hardware model?

I just did a pull and rebuilt and it's working fine for me.

The non-GUI elements build fine, only when I try to launch gui-plan9 applications is when it begins to fail on me. I'm not sure where to start looking, either something is corrupted on my system of I'm missing a piece of software. The plan9port I try to build is the most recent one here on Github.

FWIW, I'm seeing the same issue when trying to package for Guix (similar to Nix). Building e2a141ae. I suspect it's just a local issue, however, since building much older commits results in the same error.

If you're willing to run Guix, then the following should be reproduction steps:

1. Copy the following package definition locally:

plan9.scm

2. Build and run

   $ "$(guix build --file=plan9.scm plan9port)/bin/9" acme

@9arcia Why did you close this issue? If you discovered the underlying cause, please share.

[sfyatee]

@xelxebar apologies I forgot to follow up. it was simple user error. I simply had to put it in my path correctly. I am using the fish shell, and was unfamiliar on how it was done correctly.

[xelxebar]

@9arcia Thanks. Hrm. Arguably, sam and acme shouldn't be relying on PATH and instead look directly under 9PATH/bin. Maybe this is a path fixup issue during the install process?
