MacPorts for example :-) It's difficult not to have anything in /usr/local, since Nix installs itself there as well. But I did remove GMP plus some stuff that depended on it (gpmc, mpfr), and now gcc46 compiles to the end, in just a few hours. > Note that you should soon be able to grab binaries from hydra.nixos.org. That would take all the fun out of it ;-) Anyway, it looks like I can finally start to use my nixpkgs installation for real work - thanks a lot! If anyone is curious about what I plan to use Nix for, here's a blog post on my adventure: http://khinsen.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/unifying-version-control-and-dependency-management-for-reproducible-research/ (you have to read to the next-to-last paragraph to see a reference to Nix) Konrad. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
