Hello,

opening this issue as a reference for anyone who might run into the same issue when running make:

make: *** [solc] Error 1

To fix this. I've applied the workaround mentioned here: NixOS/nixpkgs#163374:

• replace <REPEAT> with "REPEAT" in /nix/store/xgasnl190vw8a9qakqd4h8wv11xv1m63-env-manifest.nix (your file name is probably different)
• re-run makecommand

Interesting... so it's just an issue of your nix file? Wonder if anyone else gets them...

Thank you. This worked for me
