I installed meson with command `guix package -i meson`
* Error:
$ meson --version

RuntimeError: Could not determine how to run Meson. Please file a bug

I'm currently using Guix on top of Fedora 26. The installed version of
meson is 0.44.0.
* Possible cause:
From /mesonlib.py/: line 47~51, we have:
#+BEGIN_BLOCK python
# The only thing remaining is to try to find the bundled executable and
# pray distro packagers have not moved it.
fname = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'meson.py')
if not os.path.exists(fname):
raise RuntimeError('Could not determine how to run Meson.
Please file a bug with details.')
#+END_BLOCK
which means meson will try to find the meson.py script at startup, but
it seems Guix has renamed the this file with the new file name
*.meson-real* and warp it with a shell script /meson/ in bin.
