racket on darwin: gracket does not work

clacke commented 6 years ago

Issue description

After merging #35429, racket builds on darwin, but gracket does not work.

Steps to reproduce

On darwin, build racket (with #35429 merged). Run gracket. Expect a window to open. Receive ffi-lib: couldn't open "libX11.6.dylib" (dlopen(libX11.6.dylib, 6): image not found)

I have added libX11 to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but then I get a malloc error instead:

$ /nix/store/vr1hs8gc0x8kpva8fqdf9cgprr0bxcgw-racket-6.12/bin/gracket
gracket(78064,0x7fffaee643c0) malloc: *** error for object 0x10e44e6e0: pointer being freed was not allocated
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
Abort trap: 6

Technical details

Please run nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m" and paste the results.
