Hi Amy, > I haven't been able to build this on NixOS.
where does the shell.nix file come from that use? Did you generate it with cabal2nix like I showed you in my previous message? > Configuring creatur-5.9.6... > cabal: At least the following dependencies are missing: > zlib ==0.6.* In my previous message I showed you the commands that can be used to look up the version of zlib that your system has. My guess is that when you run those commands, then you'll find that you don't have zlib 0.6.x. > [nix-shell:~/creatur]$ nix-env -q > . . . > haskell-zlib-ghc7.8.4-0.5.4.2-shared The Haskell libraries you install into your profile have no effect whatsoever on the set of libraries that GHC knows about. I believe it might be a good idea to remove all Haskell related code from both your user profile and from your configuration.nix file, and then start over using https://github.com/NixOS/cabal2nix/blob/master/doc/user-guide.md as a guide line. Generally speaking, please note that all this advanced stuff you're trying to do works only if you follow the nixos-unstable channel. The release-14.12 branch doesn't have the new Haskell code. Please make sure that you're using a recent version if nixos-unstable for those kind of experiments. I hope this helps, Peter _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
