Derivation failing on Fedora #152
Description
Following the getting started instructions I installed Nix + direnv on Fedora (changed nix.conf to use flakes, etc, etc) and cloned the template repo. When opening the shell in the cloned template directory, the startup direnv Nix script fails with the following error message:
[2/0/1229 built] building perl-5.40.0 (configurePhase): Checking to see which flavor of getpgrp is in use...
error: builder for '/nix/store/34x4vb85kvhmp1hjs0r6r7gla5shd8sd-gmp-6.3.0.drv' failed with exit code 2;

And then I deleted the cloned template directory, and tried instead using the command nix --accept-flake-config run github:juspay/omnix -- init github:srid/haskell-template -o ./myproject which again produced a simmilar error

and the common denominator is that they all fail due to *gmp-6.3.0.drv derivation which is unable to find files?? I have no idea what that thing is, but my guess is that it has something to do with the GNU C compiler?
My guess so far is that, either:
- this repo wan't meant for Nix package manager generically, but specifically NixOS, so the build steps for some of the deep-nested dependencies are specified with respect to some NixOS-specific quirks, hence the build will fail on other distros?
- this is a Fedora+Nix-specific issue, I heard that because Fedora uses SELinux it has bad interactions with the Nix package manager and requires tweaking configs to resolve. Maybe this is related?
- there is an extra flag I need to pass when running these commands, since I am not using NixOS
Any help would be greatly appreciated
