   @cwebber I haven't said anything on the list, because I don't have a proper solution for you, and I knew I wouldn't be able to follow up with the proper research, and I had some reservations about whether I was on the right track, but I've been running into similar issues when struggling with Racket on Nix.
   
   One thing you can try is to do what I do in installPhase in the racket2nix output:
   
   $ raco pkg install --no-setup $install_names
   $ raco setup --only --pkgs $setup_names
   
   That only addresses one of the pitfalls, but it might be enough for your problem.

      @cwebber My major problem is twofold:
      
      1) Racket determines whether it should recompile system packages based on timestamps and, well. :-)
      2) Racket has functionality to have several system install locations, but nobody uses it except me, so it's a bit lacking in places.
      
      But you're installing it as a user package (right?), so I don't quite get why it would affect you at this point.

         @cwebber Now trying `nix-build build-racket.nix --argstr package gregor` to see what happens.

            @cwebber Wohoo, you helped me discover an uncovered source type in racket2nix!
