Building Error

[diego-rapoport]

I'm using Arch Linux and I got this issue while running the nix run command to test:

error: builder for '/nix/store/ficqvjd27dp1i2409ql4vk10l3ilm7p2-nvim-rtp.drv' failed with exit code 1;

The full log doesn't provide different information

Hey :wave:

What's the exact command you're using?

nix run "github:nix-community/kickstart-nix.nvim

or

# from a local checkout
nix run

Looks like it could be related to https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/302046

I was using the first one!

Will check the issue you linked in here.

Something you could try to work around it:

• Clone the repo.
• In flake.nix, change the nixpkgs input to use nixos-23.11 instead of nixos-unstable.
• Try to run it locally.

Only if you're running on an oldish lqx kernel. Otherwise it's probably https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/300635. Will try to come up with a fix for that soon.

Thanks for the insight :smile:

That seemed to work fine!

Thanks for the update. I'll close this issue then, since there's not much I can do on this side.

Ok so now it overwrites my neovim system wide. How can I unset this or at least keep mine as default? I can see that when I run which nvim it points to ~/.nix-profile/bin/nvim which I don't intend to.

I've created an issue for a solution for that 😃
