Does anybody runs nix on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)?

It does not work for me.  E.g.:

maggesi@bantu:~$ nix-env -i fossil
installing `fossil-1.18'
error: unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory

How much RAM and swap do you have?

maggesi@bantu:~$ free
              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1022772     489748     533024          0      58920     154332
-/+ buffers/cache:     276496     746276
Swap:      1046524          0    1046524

Can you try running nix-env with the environment variable GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=100000 ?
