Nix was not compiled with libsodium about nix-darwin HOT 14 CLOSED

I found the cause of this issue with the help from some of the people on ##nix-darwin. It turns out that the version of nix in the installer does not have libsodium support, while the one in nixpkgs does, knowing that makes the issue here pretty obvious.
Installing the one from nixpkgs after using the installer will fix this:

nix-env -f -iA nixpkgs.nix

from nix-darwin.

This doesn't look good 🙁. I have a feeling this might happen when SSL_CERT_FILE is not configured properly.
What configuration did you use?

from nix-darwin.

Doing echo $SSL_CERT_FILE says /Users/pkdahl/.nix-profile/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt

from nix-darwin.

And I assume the file exists, what version of nix are you using? nix-env --version

from nix-darwin.

I can confirm that the certfile exists. Nix version is 1.11.5.

from nix-darwin.

Let me check aparently I'm still on 1.11.4, I'm thinking it might be because of this in nix.conf
If so you might be able to get around it by creating an empty /etc/nix/nix.conf, darwin-rebuild won't overwrite it.

binary-cache-public-keys = cache.nixos.org-1:6NCHdD59X431o0gWypbMrAURkbJ16ZPMQFGspcDShjY=
signed-binary-caches = *

from nix-darwin.

I did find a bug with nix.conf caused by the build-users-group option, but I'm pretty sure that's unrelated.

from nix-darwin.

I'm having the same issue sporadically and my workaround for now was to add this to my darwin-configuration.nix:

{ config, lib, pkgs, ... }:
{
  # ...
  nix.requireSignedBinaryCaches = false;
}

I've also had success adding --option use-binary-caches false to nix-* and darwin-rebuild calls, but obviously that's not ideal as you then have to build everything by hand...

from nix-darwin.

@yurrriq is that also with 1.11.5 or are you on another version?

from nix-darwin.

I'm on 1.11.4.

from nix-darwin.

Awesome, thanks! I'll try it out later.

from nix-darwin.

I also added a not about this to the installation instructions.

Seems to be working for me.

Seems to be working for me too. Thanks!
