Missing C library error during stack build with nix

In my project I'm using a library that depends on two C packages: sqlite3 and libsqlite3-dev. I installed them using apt-get install and then build the project with stack build and everything works fine.

However, the stack build fails when used with nix with error message "* Missing C library: sqlite3". I understand that the nix enviroment is isolated and that I have to install it there. I tried installing it using nix-env -i sqlite3 but it returns error: selector ‘sqlite3’ matches no derivations. It looks it is missing in the channel (using nixpkgs-unstable).

Is there any way how use to use C libraries with stack and nix that are missing in the channel?

I am using nix because of a bug in IHaskell, otherwise I would be fine with just stack.
