[Haskell-cafe] Installing ihaskell on nixos

[info at rotnetix.com]

Thank you for the tip.  I did that but then the ihaskell notebook failed to 
actually load haskell.

so I added the following to the config file:

c = get_config()
c.KernelManager.kernel_cmd = [exe, 'kernel', '{connection_file}']
c.Session.key = b''
c.Session.keyfile = b''

# Syntax highlight properly in Haskell notebooks.
c.NbConvertBase.default_language = "haskell"

# Where to look for templates.
template_path = "/".join(__file__.split("/")[:-1] + ["templates"])
c.TemplateExporter.template_path = [template_path]

And every time I run the ihaskell notebook / console it also adds:
exe = 
'/nix/store/hlkvkavkgm3hj08ffdlziq30r7zyr060-haskell-ihaskell-ghc7.8.3-0.4.3.0-shared/bin/IHaskell'.replace(' 
', '\\ ')

So I now have a whole list of these at the top.

However now the kernel keeps crashing with :

2015-01-09 03:47:51.673 [NotebookApp] KernelRestarter: restarting kernel 
(1/5)
WARNING:root:kernel 0d8057d4-b51e-4acc-a262-ceee9a84edee restarted

Any ideas?
