[Nix-dev] trouble building from source

[Christopher Howard]

Hi again. As mentioned, I installed (first time every) the Nix pkg
manager on my Gentoo amd64 box. I did an installation to a local
directory without any root privileges (adjusting the prefix, store
location, and state directory, per the documentation), and so I'm
building everything from source. I obtained Nixpkgs by adding the
"nixpkgs-unstable" channel, per the documentation here:

https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/download.html

When I go to install a package, I manage to download a lot of the
dependencies, but ultimately nix-env fails here:

code:

That was when trying to build bsd-games. Same thing eventually happens
when I try to build supertux.

I seem to be using "nixpkgs-1.0pre23217_d6571f9", in case that is
helpful information.
