[Nix-dev] Locale issues with Nix shell (and GHC) on OSX

[zimbatm]

Did you check your environment variables ? I suppose that LANG and friends
are set to en_US.UTF-8. You could try to add the locales packages to your
shell.nix or change LANG, LC_ALL to "C". If you don't need Unicode that
might be easier.
