[Nix-dev] work around failed derivation build?

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:25:08 -0700

Hi. I'm a Nix newbie. I've got nix-1.3 installed on some systems where I don't have root access, so everything is built from derivations. I've ran into this unpleasant situation now where, on all of my systems, the derivation "perl-5.16.2" won't build. This is problematic because it seems that everything I try to build ultimately depends on it. 


I filed a bug report with the details 
<https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/386> but no solution for about 
a week now. I was wondering if, in lieu of actually figuring out the 
problem, there was some way to work around it. Is it possible to use one 
of the earlier versions of Perl available? If so, what would the syntax 
be to make that happen (when I am installing some other package).
