user1052: I am writing a minting policy that takes half the bytes of one of the eUTXOs being used during mint and encoded them as a base89 readable string then checks that the Asset being minted has as a postfix said string, I am doing this in an attempt to create true NFTs without having different policy ids for each NFT.
To do this I slice the BuiltinByteString with the hash of the eUTXO in half, and then convert it to an int to pass it to the following function:
{-# INLINABLE encodeBase #-}
encodeBase :: BuiltinByteString -> Integer -> BuiltinByteString
encodeBase charset value = encoded where
  base     = lengthOfByteString charset
  encoded  = expand (value `divMod` base) emptyByteString
  lookup n = indexByteString charset n
  expand (dividend, remainder) xs
    | (dividend >  0) = expand (dividend `divMod` base) result
    | (dividend == 0 && remainder >  0) = result
    | (dividend == 0 && remainder == 0) = xs
    where result = consByteString (lookup remainder) xs 

charset is also a BuiltinByteString.
But when compiling I get the following error:
GHC Core to PLC plugin: E043:Error: Reference to a name which is not a local, a builtin, or an external INLINABLE function: Variable GHC.Integer.Type.orInteger

I don't understand, I have been using integers without issue so far in the contracts I have written, what causes this error in this case specifically?
This is the whole script:

user1231: It's because one of the used functions in your INLINABLE functions doesn't belong to Plutus. For example, if you do something like this inside your validator, you'll get a similar error:
numberList :: [Integer]
numberList = [1..5]

It's because .. is not recognized by Plutus.
So, make sure all functions used in your INLINABLE functions are imported from Plutus library.

user2537: I would guess that the use of Data.Bits-functions in your on-chain code is the problem.
