Does anybody runs nix on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)?

It does not work for me.  E.g.:

maggesi at bantu:~$ nix-env -i fossil
installing `fossil-1.18'
error: unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory
maggesi at bantu:~$ 

I tried nix version 0.16, first with the deb package then I compiled the sources myself.
I would like to try the svn trunk version of nix but I get the following compile error during the installation:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/maggesi/nix/src/libexpr'
false -v -o parser-tab.cc ./parser.y -d
make[3]: *** [parser-tab.hh] Error 1

Also the link
http://hydra.nixos.org/view/nix/trunk/latest
which is referenced from
http://nixos.org/nix/download.html
gives 404 page not found :(
