Hello!

Well, your file needs stdenv,fetchurl,openssl from nixpkgs. So, first, your
expression should include nixpkgs for those:

Keeping your rhash.nix:


nix-env -E 'let pkgs = import /etc/nixos/nixpkgs; in { rhash = import ./rhash.nix {
    inherit (pkgs) stdenv fetchurl openssl}; }' -i rhash

I don't know if it does work. But do you get the idea?
