Could you point us to article you followed? I couldn’t find it in your message. > I am able to install guix and run guix-daemon configured > to a non-default location.

The derivation for “hello” says that it needs /gnu/store/…-linux-libre-headers-4.4.18.drv, which in turn says that it needs the derivation to download the linux-libre tarball. (I’m still traveling, so I cannot check the tarballs right now.) -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
