Hi Ludo',
Thanks for your help.

I should say that I have tried guix several times and usually (always?)
get the locale warning.

$ ls $GUIX_LOCPATH/2.24
ls: cannot access '/home/myles/.guix-profile/lib/locale/2.24': No such file or
directory
Ah Hah!

So I need to reinstall glibc-utf8-locales? But alas...
$ guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales
warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument <<< Grrrrr! Bad guix!
Naughty!
The following package will be upgraded:
glibc-utf8-locales 2.23 -> 2.23
/gnu/store/akx97sgcvnjrp0ywf02ab4m4wsmdzwyp-glibc-utf8-locales-2.23
substitute: warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument <<< Stop that!
substitute: updating list of substitutes from 'https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org'...
100.0%
The following derivations will be built:
/gnu/store/vwcisqs25j00jqhaffa9r2xfxi9xibmj-profile.drv
/gnu/store/j8p555s7g8akzb1pqxq34xc9bciy2m50-ca-certificate-bundle.drv
/gnu/store/c8ad0jxwwxyjk59rhmv65a850xm486a9-info-dir.drv
/gnu/store/5y583gn3k7qqr1s27qriflb11xapsr0r-fonts-dir.drv
2 packages in profile
guix package -i glibc-utf8-locales 7.00s user 0.30s system 49% cpu
14.627 total
This is no better:
$ guix package --no-substitutes -i glibc-utf8-locales
Then I tried:
$ guix graph --type=bag-emerged postgresql | dot -Tpdf > dag.pdf
which I think shows that postgresql 9.5.3 depends on
glibc-utf8-locales-2.23.
How can I install glibc 2.24 ?

Ok, once I get initdb to work I'll make sure I set GUIX_LOCPATH in the
systemd service file that I will construct to start the daemon.
