Hello!
my app can't seem to compile, after updating my nixpacks config (below), this error came out.

[phases.setup] 
nixPkgs = ["...", "postgresql.lib"]

[packages] 
pkgs = ["...", "postgresql.lib"]

do not use both of them the first one is a phase level and 2nd one is top level both do the similar work so use one only

The problem is that you are defining the packages in two different ways in the same file. Nixpacks is likely getting confused by the duplicate declarations. You only need to specify the packages once.

example

# nixpacks.toml

[phases.setup]

# This tells Nixpacks to add the PostgreSQL client library (libpq)

# to the environment before the build starts.

# The "..." ensures that all default packages are still included.

nixPkgs = ["...", "postgresql.lib"]

using only the [phases.setup] or [packages] config change returns the CC linker error, whereas using both stops the CC linker error, but halts the build due to not being able to compile Ring. what can i do about this?

This shouldn't be related to the PGSQL package. Could you send the full build log? (the button to download it should be just to the right of the search box)

Try adding postgresql.lib to nixLibs as well.

You can install Nixpacks locally: https://nixpacks.com/docs/install

@root interestingly, it fixed it when using nixpacks build ., but not when deploying to railway. here's the new logs:

Alright, try adding libpq-dev to your aptPkgs list.

Move pkgs to nixPkgs in phases.setup.
