Hi, all, I'm trying to bring up nix on my Ubuntu Jaunty i386 system and am getting the attached error when I run nix-env. This happens to me with both nix-0.12 and with nix-0.13pre13403. I built it without using any flags to configure or to make.
One other problem I've noticed while wresting with this is that /nix/var/nix/profiles is empty. That might be causing the error I quote below. I don't see what I have to do to create a profile -- nothing in the documentation I've read has suggested I need to do anything to create the initial profile. On the other hand, subscribing to a channel (both stable and unstable) and updating it seems to work -- at least, there are no errors. I also briefly tried using the latest .deb for Intrepid, but got an error about gtkLibs being undefined. I also tried the svn repository, but am getting wrapped up with the docbook-related dependencies getting marked as missing by configure even when they are at least partially present. Thanks for any help -- this stopped being fun a few hours ago. I had expected this was supposed to be easy to install!
