My understanding is rpms for Nix are only available for Fedora and they wouldn't work with RHEL which is very conservative (no c++11 compiler, etc). There is new RHEL 7 released a few months ago but most enterprise users are still on 6.x (or older) with no plans to upgrade. Hence my interest in Nix.
I am building gcc-5.1; when it is done, I will try building Nix. As a side note, wouldn't it be better if the binary distribution were self-sufficient (=statically linked) and didn't depend on the host system? I am sure I am not the first user of RHEL who got burned by similar problems...
