This is my first post. I welcome pointers on appropriate format. I am trying to install nix in $HOME/nix on my debian testing box at home. I'm doing it to practice for installing nix at work where I am not permitted to load system software.
If I can resolve my problems, I will edit the wiki to explain what works. With the packages listed in https://nixos.org/wiki/How_to_install_nix_in_home_%28on_another_distribution%29#Manual_Installation the DBD version can't use the DBI version. I find building the following collection will get configure to run: for url in \ https://nixos.org/releases/nix/nix-1.10/nix-1.10.tar.xz \ http://bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz bzip2 \ http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.46.0.tar.lzma \ https://www.sqlite.org/2015/sqlite-autoconf-3090200.tar.gz \ http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TI/TIMB/DBI-1.634.tar.gz \ http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/I/IS/ISHIGAKI/DBD-SQLite-1.46.tar.gz \ http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SZ/SZBALINT/WWW-Curl-4.17.tar.gz do wget $url done This configure line runs without reporting errors: ./configure --prefix=$HOME/nix-boot --with-store-dir=$HOME/nix/store --localstatedir=$HOME/nix/var CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/nix-boot/include" LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/nix-boot/lib" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/nix-boot/lib/pkgconfig However "make" fails with the following at the end: LD src/libstore/libnixstore.so /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite3 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbz2 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcurl collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status mk/lib.mk:102: recipe for target 'src/libstore/libnixstore.so' failed make: *** [src/libstore/libnixstore.so] Error 1 Thanks for any pointers, Andy _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
