I'm trying to build the installation CD on a Debian etch system (x86_64), but am running into a problem I can't debug.

I've downloaded and built the nix packaging system from Subversion: nix-0.12pre13257. My nixpkgs system is from Subversion revision 13304 and my nixos is revision 13254.

In the toplevel directory for nixos I type in the following command:

nix-build installer/cd-dvd/rescue-cd.nix

A short while later I get a long error message that has the last few lines:

building path(s) `/nix/store/hnmncq9xq7lsfyfq1dxahlnrxi9aamg1-curl'
a `i686-linux' is required to build `/nix/store/n0j98b0464xc2n5pchzqh7hzmlvh240v-curl.drv', but I am a `x86_64-linux' cannot build derivation `/nix/store/l6dc2gn0v0nf4advx5724dr7cbfvc504-stdenv-linux-initial.drv': 1 inputs could not be realised

I've spent quite a bit of time attempting to debug the situation. The best I can figure out is the glibc-2.7-multi is attempting to build both the x86_64 and the i686 version to insure both sets of libraries. As a newbie, I'm having difficulty in determining what I have to change in order to get this to build.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,
Steve
