Thanks, but I don't think that's it.

1) I copied it from this example
https://github.com/nbp/Nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/misc/my-env/default.nix.
If name should be "sdl-env" then the example is wrong and I don't
understand how it could have worked before.

2) I changed the name to "sdl-env" but it's no good:

  [bfo at nixos:~]$ nix-env -i sdl-env
  error: selector `sdl-env' matches no derivations

Hm. Doesn't my nix-env read ~/.nixpkgs/config.nix?
