<civodul>Hello Guix!

*youlysses is still shocked how-much harder it seems to be (from my own experience) to get Guix going on-top of NixOS over that of Parabola.

<youlysses>I wonder if libbz2 does not in-fact come with the NixOS bzip2 package... maybe that's the issue? :^U

<youlysses>civodul: o/

<civodul>'lo!

<youlysses>So I'm commited to get Guix on my NixOS install tonight, any idea why libbzip2 wouldn't be working, even though it's picking it up bzip2 in-general via configure?

<civodul>dunno, why do you say libbz2 isn't working?

<civodul>is it found by ./configure ?

<youlysses>civodul: Sorry about that, [http://paste.lisp.org/submit].

<youlysses>And that ... [http://paste.lisp.org/display/137817]

*youlysses is not sure why onece you post something on paste.lisp.org, it just doesn't take you directly to said paste. :^P

<civodul>ah, ok

<civodul>can you open the config.log file, look for "checking for BZ2_bzWriteOpen", and paste the 10 or so lines around it?

<youlysses>civodul: Yup, sec.

<youlysses>civodul: http://paste.lisp.org/display/137818

<youlysses>taylanub: Should've been GNUtoo. :^P

<taylanub>Someone with the nick "Dabian" joined #emacs; I couldn't hold myself from making the joke. :P

<civodul>ahah :-)

<civodul>youlysses: ok, so it says it can't find libbz2 :-)

<civodul>perhaps you should run "guix package -i bzip2"?

<civodul>and make sure the env. variables are set as noted by "guix package"

<youlysses>civodul: Yup, Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. And I'm saying on this box, I don't have Guix installed at all, I'm trying to do-so via Nix.

<civodul>ah ok

<civodul>well "nix-env -i bzip2" then

<youlysses>civodul: Well, it's installed... I believe. I'll try again though, I suppose.

<civodul>ah, hmm

<youlysses>Yup, it was.

<civodul>then make sure ~/.nix-profile/lib is in $LIBRARY_PATH

<civodul>export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/lib

<civodul>better yet: add Guix to Nixpkgs :-)

*civodul has been meaning to do that

<youlysses>civodul: Still nothing. I wasn't planning to sleep much tonight and I have nothing of intrest really to-do tommorow... do you think the NixOS guys would mind?

<civodul>youlysses: so you did the "export LIBRARY_PATH" thing and that doesn't help?

<civodul>as for adding to Nixpkgs, i think that's OK

<civodul>i also plan to add a package for Nix in Guix ;-)

<youlysses>civodul: Yup. "export LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/.nix-profile/lib", followed by attempting yet another "./configure --with-libgcrypt-prefix=/home/jsgrant/.nix-profile/".

<youlysses>civodul: Exciting. :^D

<civodul>hmm weird

<civodul>youlysses: did you install gcc-wrapper?

<youlysses>civodul: Yup.

<civodul>ok

<civodul>well, dunno

<civodul>that's really a setup issue

<civodul>maybe someone on #nixos can help ;-)

<youlysses>I mean all of this seems so straight-forward, that yead, I'm really not sure either. :^P

<civodul>you can also try ./configure LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/.nix-profile/lib"

<youlysses>civodul: Too, nothing. Oh well... I still try to spin the wheels till I hopefully grasp it. :^P

<youlysses>civodul: I going to assume to it is a user error, for the AUR install via Parabola was painless. I suppose it'll put hair on my chest and what-not.

<civodul>youlysses: and $HOME/.nix-profile/lib/libbz2.so does exist, right?

<youlysses>civodul: Yup.

<civodul>then i'm clueless :-/

<youlysses>civodul: It's fine, I'm going to play around and see if I'm able to at least make a solid start at writing a package for guix... maybe methodically going through that process will help me spot what, if I'm in-fact doing something in-correct.

<youlysses>civodul: Ok, I'm going to take a power-nap then get back to it. o/

<civodul>ok :-)

<Steap>Do we have to use a special module to be able to use search-patch ?

<Steap>oh right, gnu packages

<civodul>yep
