took me a while to figure out. nix-env -qa * | grep "package you are looking for" nix-env -i "package" need to add different channels if you are grabbing packages from places other than nix-pkgs. I had a hard time, getting some haskell packages to work, because nixos symlinks all the binaries, and there was some encryption library dependency, hard coded in a cabal file, and it was a headache/ gave up. Eelco also provides a pathelf utility for modifiying dynamic linker in elf files, I haven't used it. I'm on ubuntu again but I can't remember why. Oh ya, I couldn't get Blackberry's SDK working on nixos. Anything that doesn't go through nix-pkgs, will take some work. I didn't get to the point where I was writing nix-expressions.
