	Binaries normally do not work out of the box when you download them because they normally just assume that libraries can be found in hardcoded paths such as <code>/lib</code>. However this assumption is incorrect on NixOS systems due to the inner workings of <code>nix</code> - there is no default path, everything gets set to the corresponding version on compile time.
