I really don't know what I'm going to do for my next machine
<mitchty>
i've had the current mbp for a bit over 4 years, so despite not liking paying as much as a motorcycle $3/day isn't too bad in the end

Hi, I am trying to install ocaml >= 4.06.1 on darwin. I am using the nixpkgs-unstable channel. I believe that these versions may still not be up in hydra. I am ok building it on my own machine. I tried the following: `sudo nix-env -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz -qa ocaml*`. But I cannot find the versions I am looking for this way. Can someone point me in the right direction? Why am I not able to find

erickomoto: I don't see a version that recent in nixpkgs
<erickomoto>
Is there a like a standard procedure I should follow to determine whether there is something wrong with my own nix installation? (Also, I'll try that, give me a sec...)

nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -iA ocaml-ng.ocamlPackages_4_07.ocaml error: file 'nixpkgs' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
<johnw>
ok, now I just immediately get the unknown package problem
<johnw>
Suspicious state from syntax checker haskell-ghc: Flycheck checker haskell-ghc returned non-zero exit code 1, but its output contained no errors: <command line>: cannot satisfy -package criterion
<adelbertc>
It should be doing the same thing as nix-shell and then whatever flycheck-haskrll does
<adelbertc>
Try ghc pkgconfig ?
<johnw>
it's odd that it works sometimes
<adelbertc>
Or whatever that command is
<johnw>
if I add criterion as a dependency to default.nix, then it works
<johnw>
but I shouldn't need to do that
<johnw>
because my nix-shell formulation does it
<johnw>
it's as though it's using <nixpkgs>, and not <darwin>.pkgs
