Can’t help you with just these screenshots; can you post (as text) the full build log for the first derivation that fails? (nix log /path/to/drv)

No, find the first derivation that failed to build (it’s not clear from your screenshots what that is), take its path, and pass that to nix log. Ignore the X dependencies of derivation errors because those are downstream of the problem.
