# NousResearch/hermes-agent · musl Linux gets wrong glibc artifacts, causing segfaults

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

A bug was identified where the package manager selects glibc-only Python, uv, and Node artifacts on musl-based Linux systems (e.g., Alpine, Void), leading to segfaults. Related fixes aim to ensure native musl artifacts are selected on musl hosts.
