Thanks for responding.
Not a bad idea, but curl is already installed on the machine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Software/nix-0.12pre13257$ dpkg -l | grep curl
ii curl 7.15.5-1etch1 Get a file
from an HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or GOPHE
ii libcurl3 7.15.5-1etch1
Multi-protocol file transfer library
The problem appears to be in nix-build. It appears the following C++
code in src/libstore/build.cc generates the error:
...
void DerivationGoal::startBuilder()
{
startNest(nest, lvlInfo,
format("building path(s) %1%") %
showPaths(outputPaths(drv.outputs)))
/* Right platform? */
if (drv.platform != thisSystem)
throw BuildError(
format("a `%1%' is required to build `%3%', but I am a `%2%'")
% drv.platform % thisSystem % drvPath);
...
What's somewhat surprising is that it appears the curl derivation
defines "system" correctly:
/nix/store/n0j98b0464xc2n5pchzqh7hzmlvh240v-curl.drv:
Derive([...,("system","i686-linux")])
I haven't followed the code that reads the derivation to set the
internal variables in nix-build.

Hi Steve,
I am probably wrong, but what if you install curl using apt?

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:

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
