compile failure against latest version of libc about nix HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks danburkert, I just hit the exactly same error, and set the nix to danburkert's repo in Cargo.toml can solve this issue:
[dependencies]
nix = { git = "https://github.com/danburkert/nix-rust" }

from nix.

@yupeng820921 , I was able to compile nix using this fix, but when it is listed as a sub-dependency in one of the other included libraries it still attempts to compile the broken version. Do you know of any fix for that besides forking the other dependency or waiting for this repo to be updated?

from nix.

@rorytrent the mechanism that would allow you to do this in Cargo appears to be broken: rust-lang/cargo#1800. A quick and dirty fix is to manually edit your local Cargo.lock file and replace any instances of the libc 0.1.9 dependency with 0.1.8.

from nix.

Looks like libc 0.1.9 was yanked. I'm going to close this issue.
