Hi there,
Tonight I've been trying to get Nix to work using a FreeBSD (6, i386) OS
in order to create a nice environment for some FP courses.
After installing Nix, I can install ghc... but if I want something like
lhs2tex it has some problems bootstrapping GHC:
nix-env -i lhs2tex
installing `lhs2tex-1.13pre3'
error: while instantiating the derivation named `lhs2tex-1.13pre3' at
`/root/.ni
x-defexpr/channels/nixpkgs_unstable/pkgs/tools/typesetting/lhs2tex/default.nix',
line 6:

`/root/.nix-defexpr/c

line 14:

`/root/.nix-defexpr/channels/
nixpkgs_unstable/pkgs/development/compilers/ghc/boot.nix', line 6:
user-thrown exception: `cannot bootstrap GHC on this platform'
Can someone give me a clue about how to solve this problem?
Cheers!
