[Install guix packages to non-default]: Unable to build derivation hello

[rohit yadav]

Hi,

I am trying to install guix packages to a non-default location to benefit from guix on machines with no root privileges. Following the below mentioned article, I am able to install guix and run guix-daemon configured to a non-default location. However, when I trying to install even a basic hello package, the guix goes on to install large number of derivations. And fails while trying to pull linux-libre (why is this needed for hello package?). I am not sure why it is unable to pull the src packages to build from scratch.

Hope to hear soon.

Thanks,

Rohit

The terminal output is attached below:
