Not sure where the best place to ask this is, so.. I installed Nix in an existing distro install (Arch), and am trying to follow the Nix Pills. I'm having a problem at the graphviz ones though, because it keeps linking against my system libexpat, even when I pass in expat to be linked against. Is there any simple way to prevent it from linking in the system one?
<manveru>
demize: did you enable sandboxing?
<manveru>
not really the right channel, but whatever :)
<manveru>
it's too quiet here anyway
<manveru>
demize: in your /etc/nix/nix.conf put a line with `sandbox = true`
<demize>
With that I'm getting an error due to the clone call not being permitted, hm. (Additionally, seems https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Nix#Sandboxing is outdated.)
<demize>
What *would* be the right channel for this btw?
<manveru>
demize: probably #nixos
<manveru>
it has the most people, and isn't actually only for nixos
<manveru>
demize: so i assume you're using the single-user installation?

Many distro channels don't like it when people ask about things relating to other distros in them, so I avoided it due to that, but I'll go there in the future then, thanks.
