Unable to install openldap

[pedro93]

What happened?

On MacOS Sequoia 15.2, managed by nix-darwin I'm trying to create a devbox shell for a multi-language code repo where I need sasl.h to compile some python packages.

In order to do that I'm adding the openldap dependency to my devbox config but when computing the environment I get the following error:

$ devbox shell
Info: Ensuring packages are installed.
✓ Computed the Devbox environment.

I was able to progress beyond Error: error installing packages in nix profile [/nix/store/a2wwllk1ikq2afd7p2mkfzb0ckhb4yfv-openldap-2.6.8 /nix/store/i91nkxcl4fd8al9vccgnaypcj50ld4ml-openldap-2.6.8-man /nix/store/qwlbs0xdxda0rx7z0yrx0bkwdxhm31g0-cyrus-sasl-2.1.28-bin /nix/store/vy9rkv8vkci8b2kxfaw810nb2k6gwp3g-cyrus-sasl-2.1.28-man]: nix: command error: nix --extra-experimental-features ca-derivations --option experimental-features 'nix-command flakes fetch-closure' profile install --profile /Users/pedro/dev/acryl/datahub-fork/.devbox/nix/profile/default --offline --impure --priority 9 /nix/store/a2wwllk1ikq2afd7p2mkfzb0ckhb4yfv-openldap-2.6.8 /nix/store/i91nkxcl4fd8al9vccgnaypcj50ld4ml-openldap-2.6.8-man /nix/store/qwlbs0xdxda0rx7z0yrx0bkwdxhm31g0-cyrus-sasl-2.1.28-bin /nix/store/vy9rkv8vkci8b2kxfaw810nb2k6gwp3g-cyrus-sasl-2.1.28-man: exit code 1

By removing the "cyrus_sasl@latest" package.
Now the devbox shell loads but when running uv pip install python-ldap I get the following:

  Caused by: This error likely indicates that you need to install a library that provides "sasl/sasl.h" for python-ldap@3.4.4

This tells me that C libraries are not getting accessed in devbox, is there a way to fix this?
