Hello, Going back to the R dependencies topic, I ran across an issue when trying to draw a plot (with ggplot2). But first some context:
- I'm not using GuixSD but a binary installation over Manjaro OpenRC; several base packages missing on Guix - I only have other two Guix packages installed: xpdf & abbaye - I installed ggplot2 through install.packages("ggplot2") in R (Guix package) R complained about some fonts missing, but I think it could be related to a missing X11 dependency (complete Xorg maybe?). What could it be? 2015-09-02 10:09 GMT-03:00 Ludovic Courtès <l...@gnu.org>: > Ricardo Wurmus <rek...@elephly.net> skribis: > >> An alternative is to inherit from the “r” package in “statistics.scm”. >> >> (define-module (my own packages) >> #:use-module (guix packages) >> #:use-module (gnu packages statistics) >> #:use-module (srfi srfi-1)) >> >> (define-public my-r >> (package (inherit r) >> (name "my-r") >> ;; modify only the inputs here >> (native-inputs (alist-delete "texlive" (package-native-inputs r))) >> (inputs (alist-delete "icedtea6" (package-inputs r))))) > > Speaking of which: should we get rid of icedtea6:jdk in the default R > package (closure size: 1 GiB), and maybe of TeX Live (4 GiB)?
