[Nix-dev] glibc-2.13 hell

[Sergey Mironov]

Hi Eelco,

Let me clarify: I did my firefox and opera tests from first letter with
LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to its default value
(/run/opengl-driver/lib:/run/opengl-driver-32/lib). So all the GLIBC-2.14
errors are the result of some other impurities, probably QT-related. I had
extra freetype library only at the moment I did nixos-rebuild to update my
system. So I am wondering if it affects the system being build or not.
Probably, the answer is 'no' because now, after 'nix-env -u -leq`, I have
all the things work quite nice.

Regards,
Sergey
