posix_spawnp: does not exist using the plugin with pandoc on nixos about pandoc-unicode-math HOT 3 CLOSED

Yes, I suppose that createProcess call is pandoc trying to run the pandoc-unicode-math filter, but unfortunately I don't know anything about nixos, so ... feel free to close the issue, and good luck!

Hi,

sorry for the bad experience! I'm not familiar with nixos, but the error message looks like pandoc not finding the pandoc-unicode-math binary. If this is the case two reasons come to mind:

1. The pandoc-unicode-math binary is not in your PATH, so pandoc can't locate it at all, or
2. the pandoc-unicode-math binary is in your PATH, but it is not executable, so pandoc can't run it.

The binaries in the ZIPs from the releases page are not executable (this is an issue with the GitHub Actions CI process IIRC), so you would have to run something like chmod u+x pandoc-unicode-math on them first (nixos is Unix-like, right?).

Let me know if that works!

Cheers,
Martin

Hi thank you for your reply,

I did that: chmod the binary and put it in the PATH. I had an error about this but it's not the same.

Here the error looks like an issue with a syscall.

I think it tries to run a subprocess in order to run your plugin into.

on second thought, I think it must be from pandoc on this OS (libc is not linked in the same way as other os).

If you're ok I can close this issue. Let me know.
