Since I recently upgraded to MacOS X 10.7, I decided to reinstall Nix (1.0) and Nixpkgs from scratch to see how it works out. I downloaded the python branch you mentioned and added your patch for numpy. Then I typed nix-build -A pythonPackages.numpy ./pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix This leads to a failure in building libsigsegv-2.10 (due to a failing test), which is a dependency of gawk-4.0.0, which in turn is a dependency of stdenv. libsigsegv 2.10 is supposed to work fine under MacOSX 10.7, so I suppose the failure is due to the build environment in nixpkgs. I don't think this is related in any way at all to your patch or to the python branch, but it's pretty effective at preventing me from building numpy. > Maybe the ATLAS stuff in the patch is guilty? Well possible. Getting ATLAS right is not a trivial job.
