Re: Error messages and progress report

[Andreas Enge]

Hello,

 

I am getting there! Everything compiled, and there is now a hello package.

Or rather, lots of them. /nix/store contains

1 hello-2.8.tar.gz

3 hello-2.8.tar.gz.drv

3 hello-2.8.tar.gz-guile-builder

2 hello-2.8

2 hello-2.8.drv

2 hello-2.8-guile-builder

Altogether 13 files or directories, with different hashes prepended.

Unfortunately, all files have the date "Jan 1 1970". It would be nice to

use the real date of modification instead.

 

 

The command

guix-package -i hello

still produces an error, probably related to making the symlinks

in my own environment:

ERROR: In procedure symlink:

ERROR: In procedure symlink: No such file or directory

 

 

The directory

"/nix/store/1n6bpxkjq2w1m8nlyc6c6bpf0y8rspi0-user-environment"

exists, and its subdirectory "bin" contains a link "hello" to

/nix/store/g0izbi5fdmnpgc6mwi45sxks390fkm1v-hello-2.8/bin/hello.

 

So far, there is no ".guix-profile" in my home directory; but

creating it does not change the error message.

 

Do I need to do anything special? If yes, it would be good to add a

section "installation" to the manual. I suppose I also need to add a line

to my .bashrc to modify $PATH ?
