Hmm, you're right. I ran nodeJS just fine and see the same errors. I wonder _what_ exactly is causing the nix-env program to not run all the way. When I run it, I get these errors in the STDOUT: GC warning: pthread_setname_np failed error: setting death signal: Function not implemented When I look through the ktrace of nix-env, I don't see anything obvious. It might be that I just don't know what to look for too. Do you have any general rules of thumb when looking at this sort of thing?
