[Nix-dev] Installing Nix under Debian Jessie (32-bit)

[Sean Whitton]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the Nix package manager on Debian Jessie, using
the .deb file provided on the NixOS website.

I did this:

,----
| $ sudo dpkg -i nix_1.9-1_i386.deb
| $ sudo apt-get -f install
`----

and it appears to have been successfully installed (the second command
is to fix dependencies).

However, when I run `nix-channel --add` to add the nixpkgs channel, I
get this error:

,----
| $ nix-channel --add https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable
| Perl API version v5.14.0 of Nix::Store does not match v5.20.0 at /usr/share/perl/5.20/XSLoader.pm line 92.
| Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi-64int/Nix/Manifest.pm line 13.
| BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi-64int/Nix/Manifest.pm line 13.
| Compilation failed in require at /usr/bin/nix-channel line 8.
| BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/nix-channel line 8.
`----

Looks like there is a problem with the .deb's perl scripts?

Thanks.

Sean
