Error occurred at install, when building LuaSnip

[ccjmne]

The Issue

When setting up kickstart.nvim into my fresh neovim installation, the LuaSnip build fails with an assertion error.

-- The specific step appears to be: build: cc -shared jsregexp.o cutils.o libregexp.o libunicode.o -o jsregexp.so

-- The specific stack trace is:

Error detected while processing /home/ccjmne/.config/nvim/init.lua:
E5113: Error while calling lua chunk: ...local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/manage/lock.lua:33: assertion failed!
stack traceback:

-- This is the piece of code that ultimately triggers the failing assertion: https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim/blob/master/lua/lazy/manage/lock.lua#L33

-- Pressing q at that point lets me use neovim normally, and quitting-reopening nvim does seem to have set up at least some things properly (for instance, <space>sh does do exactly what I expected it to).
I'm not sure what is broken in practice in my installation afterwards, assuming anything is broken at all.

NB: I've not used neovim before, and only took a short lua crash course yesterday night, so I might be missing something quite obvious.

To Reproduce

1. rm -rf ~/.local/share/nvim ~/.config/nvim
2. git clone https://github.com/nvim-lua/kickstart.nvim.git "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}"/nvim
3. nvim

Tools & Versions

I've listed here the version I used of all the tools listed as requirements for lazy.nvim and kickstart.nvim.

git      2.45.2-1
make     4.4.1-2
unzip    6.0-21
GCC      14.1.1+r58+gfc9fb69ad62-1
ripgrep  14.1.0-1
xclip    0.13-5
neovim   0.10.0-5
luarocks 3.11.1-1

To the best of my knowledge, my neovim was indeed built with LuaJIT: luajit is a dependency of the package I use for neovim (https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/neovim/), and running :lua print(jit.version) inside neovim does yield LuaJIT 2.1.1716656478.
