I got by updating mpfr. The good way of doing this would then be to : - add the new mpfr .nix as 3.1.2.nix and restore the original default.nix - in the julia expresion replace the references to mpfr by mpfr-3.1.2 The other way would be to let julia build the newer mpfr on each rebuild. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
