Unable to install GraalJS

[jessealama]

(I'm not sure if this is an issue with eshost-cli or with GraalJS. If this is a Graal issue, I'm happy to move the discussion over there.)

I just tried to install GraalJS using eshost on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 LTS box. I was able to install a few engines, but not GraalJS 21.3.3.1, the version available at the time. Here are the results:

$ npm install esvu -g
# snip successful install output
$ which esvu
/usr/local/bin/esvu
$ esvu --engines=all
esvu ❯ version 1.2.9

}

Somehow we're trying to install a shared library that doesn't exist. I can confirm, though, that Graal's js binary is available, sitting uninstalled in that temprary directory:

$ ls /tmp/esvu-ddf2ac3d55c5d5465e2a64c5ee2ee159-extracted/graaljs-21.3.3.1-linux-amd64/
bin  LICENSE.txt  native-image.properties  README.md  release  THIRD_PARTY_LICENSE.txt

Any idea what might be going on?
