I am trying to get Isabelle2019 running on NixOS. I used the nix expression from nixpgs (https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/5e2f89bbce11069748e35830f51b3bd9a45c871c/pkgs/applications/science/logic/isabelle/default.nix) where I replaced the directory contrib/java/ by contrib/java-* and changed the version to 2019. I also switched to polyml-5.8 using the nix expression https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/development/compilers/polyml/default.nix. When trying to build Pure on startup of Isabelle, I get the following errors:

At (line 27 of "General/integer.ML")
Error: Structure does not match signature.

   Structure:

 end

Does anybody have an idea what the cause could be?

Probably a mismatch of Poly/ML versions.

I found the issue! Poly/ML has to be compiled with the --enable-intinf-as-int flag.
