Hi, I've been following Guix from it's initial release and finally found some time to play with it (actually, second time). I believe both Guix and GuixSD are fantastic and exciting projects. Kudos to Ludovic and the rest of the team!
I was trying to make Guix run from the source code, but have found some issues. First one was this step: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Locales-1 When I run "guix package -i glibc-locales" after setting up the daemon I get: substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'http://hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0% over and over. If I make it verbose, I can see things like: substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'http://hydra.gnu.org'... 100.0% | | substitution of `/gnu/store/2w1n3ary5sy2z4m094lmw8gjli962l87-patch-2.7.5.tar.xz': trying next substituter | | path `/gnu/store/2w1n3ary5sy2z4m094lmw8gjli962l87-patch-2.7.5.tar.xz' is required, but there is no substituter that can build it | | substitution of `/gnu/store/2w1n3ary5sy2z4m094lmw8gjli962l87-patch-2.7.5.tar.xz': done | | building of `/gnu/store/viqpy1k0sc8az90z2df1rln9598z613x-patch-2.7.5.tar.xz.drv': waitee `substitution of `/gnu/store/2w1n3ary5sy2z4m094lmw8gjli962l87-patch-2.7.5.tar.xz'' done; 0 left It ends up with a big error (log file attached). I have also tried to install other packages without luck. Another thing that I tried to do was "guix package -l", but it gives me: guix package: error: profile '/usr/var/guix/profiles/per-user/aleix/guix-profile' does not exist rekado on the IRC says this will be created as soon as I install a package. May be it should be more explicit in the documentation: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Package-Management Or may be it could be created when trying to list the generations even if no package has been installed? My apologies if I missed something obvious. I believe I read everything in the manual until getting stuck in these steps. Thanks! Aleix
