Only having lazy is causing an error

[davidsircoin]

Hello! I've tried reinstalling neovim, deleted .local/share/nvim/lazy and rebuilding lazy.lua according to the installation guide, and I get this each time I want to open a file.

What is going on? Is the way neovim gets installed on linux mint wrong or? Thank you for help!

You're using an ancient neovim version or your neovim's runtime is messed up

[davidsircoin]

When I run nvim --version I get that I have v 0.11.0-dev and LuaJIT 2.1.0-beta3. As stated, I've tried reinstalling it completely. How do I check if my runtime is messed up?

[davidsircoin]

Nevermind, here is the runtime path

/home/davidsircoin/.config/nvim,/home/davidsircoin/.local/share/nvim/site,/home/davidsircoi
n/.local/share/nvim/lazy/lazy.nvim,/usr/share/nvim/runtime,/usr/share/nvim/runtime/pack/dis
t/opt/matchit,/usr/lib64/nvim,/home/davidsircoin/.config/nvim/after,/home/davidsircoin/.loc
al/state/nvim/lazy/readme

[folke]

Old nightly then. Either way, your install is messed up. LazyVim needs a stable or recent nightly

[davidsircoin]

I've just installed with a simple sudo apt-get install neovim. Lazyvim still "works", technically. But I always get this message when opening any file with neovim.

[folke]

You did not, since you're for sure using Neovim nightly (0.11).
You may have also installed Neovim stable with apt-get, but your version info shows you're using a nigyhtly (and probably an old one with messed up runtime directory)

I have the same issue and I think I tracked it down.
In my case it is due to "runtimepath reset" feature messes runtime path.

The quick workaround about this is turn it off:

require("lazy").setup({
   spec = {... },
   performance = { rtp = { reset = false } },

The core issue that in my case parsers are located in /usr/lib/nvim/ and it is in path by defalut. But after lazy.nvim initializes, it no longer in path, but /usr/lib64/nvim/ is, which isn't even exits.

I have default debian installation of neovim from default repos, v0.10.4

I tracked it down to:
lazy.nvim/lua/lazy/core/config.lua:301 :

  local lib = vim.fn.fnamemodify(vim.v.progpath, ":p:h:h") .. "/lib"
  lib = vim.uv.fs_stat(lib .. "64") and (lib .. "64") or lib
  lib = lib .. "/nvim"
  if M.options.performance.rtp.reset then
    ---@type vim.Option
    vim.opt.rtp = {
      vim.fn.stdpath("config"),
      vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/site",
      M.me,
      vim.env.VIMRUNTIME,
      lib,
      vim.fn.stdpath("config") .. "/after",
    }
  end

If I understand correctly (I am noob in lua), code assumes that if /usr/lib64 exits then /usr/lib64/nvim exits either (which is definitely not true in my case). I'll probably try to dive into lua syntax and maybe figure out patch for this, that feels like a bug.
