libsass.so: cannot open shared object file with dartsass-rails and Rails 7.1 about administrate

[januszm]

Just tried with a brand new app generated with:

rails new -d sqlite3 -M -C -c sass -j esbuild -T -B testapp71 # Rails 7.1.1
bundle add dartsass-rails
bundle add administrate
rails dartsass:install
rails g model Page title body
rails db:setup

rails generate administrate:install

no dice, same error on production servers running on Amazon Linux 2023 with Ruby 3.2

Also doesn't work with Rails 7.0.6 on Ruby 3.2.2 in this combination.

Oddly enough, I have another application running with Rails 7.0.8 and Ruby 3.0 and the following gems, but set up with webpacker (and older Ruby 3.0)

gem 'administrate'
gem 'administrate-field-image'

gem 'dartsass-rails'
gem 'sprockets-rails'

and it works just fine with dartsass

Thank you for opening this issue and your patience whilst we figured out how to handle assets for now and in the future.

I took the decision to go with #2397, which will mean in our next release we'll be bundling the assets required for Administrate in the gem itself. My expectation is that this will mean there's no longer any downstream problems caused by us when people change the way they go about bundling their assets, or Rails itself changes how they want to do things.

I'm going to start releasing some pre-release versions of the gem in the coming days, as I'm sure I'm about to break stuff for people, and so we can get feedback and make sure there's nice migration help sorted out.
