[Nix-dev] Unable to install clang/llvm 3.9

[Wink Saville]

Thanks for the info, that helps, oh and I'm running NixOS which I
installed using
16.03 on to a virtual private server and my configuration.nix file is
here (https://goo.gl/cXjV8E) and here is my uname info:

[wink at vps1:~]$ uname -a
Linux vps1 4.4.20 #1-NixOS SMP Wed Sep 7 06:32:59 UTC 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux


It seems I don't have 3.9.0 available, how do I get it?

[wink at vps1:~]$ nix-env -qaP llvm
warning: name collision in input Nix expressions, skipping
‘/home/wink/.nix-defexpr/channels_root/nixos’
nixos.llvm_34  llvm-3.4.2
nixos.llvm_35  llvm-3.5.2
nixos.llvm_36  llvm-3.6.2
nixos.llvm     llvm-3.7.1
nixos.llvm_38  llvm-3.8.0

[wink at vps1:~]$ nix-env -qaP clang-wrapper
warning: name collision in input Nix expressions, skipping
‘/home/wink/.nix-defexpr/channels_root/nixos’
nixos.clangSelf  clang-wrapper-3.4.2
nixos.clang_34   clang-wrapper-3.4.2
nixos.clang_35   clang-wrapper-3.5.2
nixos.clang_36   clang-wrapper-3.6.2
nixos.clang      clang-wrapper-3.7.1
nixos.clang_38   clang-wrapper-3.8.0

(Btw, what have I done to cause the 'warning: name collision'?)
