As Michael suggested, that `...' is a new feature of the Nix language, not supported by the version of Nix currently installed on your system. Thus, you should first install a newer version of Nix, which you should be able to do like this: $ sudo nix-env -Ai nixUnstable (`sudo' is needed here so that the new Nix is installed in the `default' profile, not in your user profile.) After that, you should be able to install Xorg. Hope this helps, Ludovic. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.cs.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
