dynamically links against libdb4 (?!), due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH it picks up our libdb4 instead of SuSE's libdb4, but our libdb4 uses another glibc so loading barfs. Instead, all packages should use rpaths to store library locations in executables/libraries. The disadvantage is that overriding rpaths is harder. (It is possible by invoking the dynamic linker directly, e.g., `/lib/ld-linux.so.2 --ignore-path LIST program args...' to ignore the rpath for the libraries in LIST). It would be better to use DT_RUNPATH, which is consulted by the dynamic linker *after* LD_LIBRARY_PATH but *before* ld.so.cache and the system directories.
Overview
========
Nix is a package manager, deployment system, and component glue
mechanism.
Prerequisites
=============
* Berkeley DB 4.0.14
* CWI ATerm 2.0
Installation
============
* When building from the Subversion repository, first do:
autoreconf -i
* To build, do:
./configure
make
make install
Note that this will install to /nix, which is the default prefix.
You can specify another prefix, but this is not recommended if you
want to use prebuilt packages from other sources.
Usage
