I'm setting up CI to run some K/N tests on several distributions (arch, fedora, ubuntu, etc) using docker but I'm facing an issue on some of them I'm getting this error:

build/bin/linuxX64/debugTest/test.kexe: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In particular I get it on fedora and arch, but not on ubuntu and opensuse. Is there any known workaround?
I'm using Kotlin 2.0.21

issue solved on both fedora and arch by installing libxcrypt-compat.

I made a script to install it on docker images that don't have a package manager: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-55643/Native-Unnecessary-libcrypt.so-dependency-when-building-KMM-basic-sample-for-Linux-platform#focus=Comments-27-11113098.0-0

Hey there! I encountered a similar issue on Fedora, the solution was to install the libxcrypt-compat package.

[Roberto Leinardi]

yep, same for me: https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C3SGXARS6/p1732572560476839?thread_ts=1732570060.413379&cid=C3SGXARS6

Ah, didn't notice that message 😄

[Roberto Leinardi]

I had the same issue when running kotlin native app on distroless container images. Found this workaround in one of the ktor native sample and is working fine

binaries {
      executable(setOf(RELEASE)) {
        entryPoint = "main"

        // Fix for libcrypt.so.1 not-found error on distroless
        if (target.targetName.startsWith("linux")) {
          linkerOpts("--as-needed")
          freeCompilerArgs += "-Xoverride-konan-properties=linkerGccFlags.linux=-lgcc -lgcc_eh -lc"
        }
