Installing guile-json as root makes no difference.

guix package -i git is quite a job... even this is a devel list I am just 
a user here.
Got the git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git, but it is not 
obvious what to do with it. The README in Installation says
See manual:
  info -f doc/guix.info "(guix) Installation"
there is nothing like this in cloned repo.
Same doc with Installing Guix from Guix requires me to run configure/make 
but there is no configure in the cloned repo.

Running bootstrap ends with:
configure.ac:55: error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_CHECK_MODULES
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use 
m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: 
/gnu/store/50qbjh51jaay21gdpv91bff81k1fcqjh-autoconf-2.69/bin/autoconf 
failed with exit status: 1

Every way I try ends in a dead end.

Both
guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 0.7
