Hi Nix Dev,
I am having issues installing on an HPC cluster. My methodology has been using
PRoot to mount a directory to /nix. I am using Nix 1.11.2
Impurities seem to be creeping into the build process, that I don't get when
building locally. For example, when building Python Pillow, I had to also mount
an empty directory over /usr/include, because the builds were including gcc
flags for `-I/usr/include` and breaking the build. But this shouldn't happen,
should it? The hack of mounting over these directories was a temporary fix.
My current error is when building Boost with GCC49, which again works locally
(Ubuntu 14.04) but not on the cluster.
nix-build -E 'with import <nixpkgs> { }; boost.override { stdenv =
overrideCC stdenv gcc49; }'

This looks like a memory error, but for 16MB? I certainly have much more memory
than that available, and increasing the allocated memory for the compute nodes
doesn't change the error. I am guessing it may be again due to some impurity,
how can these creep in?
Any advise, even on how best to debug, is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Ashley
