> error: creating directory `/gnu': Permission denied
Here ‘guix-register’ attempts to create /gnu/store if it doesn’t exist
yet, hence this error (I don’t have this error on my machine because
/gnu/store already exists.)
Could you apply the patch below (with ‘patch -p1 < foo.patch’), and then
run “make check TESTS=tests/guix-register.sh”, making sure that /gnu
does *not* already exist?

Thanks in advance,
