In cases like this I tend to test outside Guix and see if it works 
there, and if it doesn't work, then report the bug upstream.

OTOH, if it does work, then that points to something amiss with the Guix 
package or its dependencies.

Would you be able to test please? Given that this seems on the face of 
it to be a central part of this package it would be good to know why the 
package isn't working.
Thanks,
