<happy_gnu>paroneayea: yeah that worked! thanks :)

<joolean>I'm having a tough time with a local build of 2.2. When I try to run an FFI procedure - e.g., `gnutls-version' from `(gnutls)' I get an error:

<joolean>ERROR: ERROR: Wrong type to apply: #<unknown-type (0x24f . 0x7fa1fb837e28) @ 0x7fa1fbdfb308>

<joolean>This suggests that there's something... wrong with the way Guile compiled the module that exports that procedure, but I'm not sure what

<joolean>I've purged every stale .go file I could find

<joolean>Any ideas?

<daviid>heya

<sneek>Welcome back daviid, you have 1 message.

<sneek>daviid, rekado_ says: I tried to build guile-gnome with Guile 2.2 but this fails with type errors in “gnome-vfs-port.c” (e.g. gnome-vfs-port.c:62:11: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘scm_t_port {aka struct scm_t_port}’)

<daviid>rekado: hum, are you using 2.16.4? this is known and announced in the 2.16.5 Prepare 2.16.5, but I think I just forgot to push merge and release 2.16.5 :)

<daviid>rekado: it should not try to build neither corba nor gnome-vfs when using guile-2.2

<daviid>rekado: here is the email I'm refering to: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-gtk-general/2016-07/msg00000.html

<daviid>rekado: I actually did push the fix to the devel branch http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile-gnome.git/commit/?h=devel&id=4d2c2e0f6d147715c387c6f772a55f022e4de6df

<daviid>since no one offered to help to fix corba and gnome-vfs using guile-2.2, neither cried :), so prob no 'real' users for these two modules, I guess I should merge and release 2.16.5 now, it's been almost a year since thie above announcement and request for help ...

<amz3`>héllo #guile

<amz3`>happy_gnu: #win

<amz3`>I'd like to do a screencast about wiredtiger but I am not sure what to demonstrate, can someone help?

<amz3`>guile wiredtiger 0.6 announcement

<sirgazil>I figured out why I was getting 0 Guix packages in the haunt website and the actual >5000 packages in a non-haunt program.

<sirgazil>The problem is not haunt related. It was that the "guix.scm" file in the haunt website conflicts with the guix library when running `haunt build`.

<sirgazil>I renamed "guix.scm" to "guix.packages", and now I can get all guix packages in the haunted website.

<happy_gnu>hello :)

<happy_gnu>I am so excited about guile and scheme

<happy_gnu>I tried to learn python and javascript, I did a few things but I gave up

<sirgazil>happy_gnu: Howdy ho/

<happy_gnu>I felt like I was not learning how to program

<happy_gnu>just syntaxis

<happy_gnu>After learning I felt like ok, I know booleans, if, while, .. now what?

<happy_gnu>how do I use this things?

<happy_gnu>but with lisp I feel so different

<happy_gnu>I just write a "not" function

<happy_gnu>I have no idea how to do that in python, maybe not is too easy but anyway I am so happy

<amz3`>what's up?

<amz3`>ACTION backlogging

<amz3`>I see... I see... a lot of people enjoying... the SUN!

<spk121>Praise the Sun.

<amz3`>and you spk121, did you get you yearly dose of sun?

<spk121>chilly today, but, I'm off camping tomorrow

<amz3`>camping is nice, especially to meet to bees and all kinds of insectoids ^^

<amz3`>I have the feeling that all this sun is not correct behavior of Earth...

<amz3`>I have a bad feeling, it seems like a bug!

<daviid>rekado: hello! did you see my answer, yesterday here, about guile-gnome for guile-2.2?

<rekado>daviid: yes, I have. I’ll update the package once the new release is available for download.

<daviid>rekado: ok, I think it will be by the end of next week, early the week I have to travel...
