Some should be closed, and bug-guix should be removed from the thread.

Hi John, Oh, I see! I wonder if it possible to have a more convinient haskell-for-a-casual-developer like package or: parameterize the command itself, say: guix install ghc -option1=blah, -option2=blah, and provide default options as well? In the very least, a warning message explaining this a

Hi John, Thank you, after installing gcc-toolchain, it worked! Then this is indeed a bug that should be very simple to fix? Just require gcc-toolchain (or some of its required features) as a GHC's dependency? I am also curious, what kind of testing (if any?) does Guix perform for packages?? Or i

Hi yasu, Compiling with ghc requires a c toolchain (like gcc-toolchain) installed to work. Can you try again after installing gcc-toolchain?Ghc has not been perfect for me recently but I use it quite a lot. Hope that helps, John

This one ought to be very simple to solve (or at least confirm). Does anyone use Haskell daily? I am a very casual user of Haskell (GHC) and when I tried to compile something just now, I noticed that it can't even compile the simplest possible program..., unless I downgrade to ghc@8.4 or lower.
