Problem when installing HaskellR with Nix

[Stéphane Thibaud]

Hello! I have tried to install the HaskellR package using the instructions under the 'Building and installing HaskellR' section on https://tweag.github.io/HaskellR/docs/build-and-install.html 
The installation fails with the following message however (when doing the stack --nix build step):

writing top-level names to ipython_genutils.egg-info/top_level.txt
writing dependency_links to ipython_genutils.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
writing ipython_genutils.egg-info/PKG-INFO

/home/snthibaud/.nix-profile/bin/nix-shell: failed to build all dependencies

Any ideas on what I am missing?


Best regards,

python3.4-notebook is an upstream package in Nixpkgs. So this is likely an upstream issue. That said, I just tried this morning with Nixpkgs 17.03pre99759.f66d782 on NixOS (linux) and couldn't reproduce.

- What OS are you running this on?

- Which Nixpkgs version? Use

nix-instantiate --eval '<nixpkgs>' -A lib.nixpkgsVersion

to find out.

Thanks for your answer!
The OS is: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
The Nixpkgs version is: "17.03pre100738.3fd44e2"

Kind regards,

Stéphane

This is indeed an upstream issue. As a workaround, comment out the packages whose name start with python34 in shell.nix.

Or as another workaround, checkout the laster master branch: it turns out the python34 packages currently fail in Nixpkgs but not the python35 ones, which use a more recent interpreter anyways.
