Problem appears to be the nix configuration changing. Non-explorer nix repl has the interpreter linker in the usual location: /lib64, which is where the Squeak binaries are configured for. In the current explorer nix repl the linker is in the nix package dirs somewhere as determined by checking with a test program. The account in question has ben changed to non-explorer and a bug report filed.

Part of the issue is also that the linker gives a bad error message if it fails in resolving one of the linking dependencies. Need to rerun manually to see what has gone wrong.

Possible steps to fix involve patchelf, resetting the linker env vars, and trying to recompile under nix.
