Hello Lee,

This is a guix 'problem' [1], please try to get some help on guix-user
ML, or if you have on irc:	irc.libera.chat	(channel) #guix

> In trying to resolve that error myself, I found that the guile manual

No, there is no 'use-typelib, as you can read in each example, the
procedure call is:

	(g-irepository-require "Gtk" #:version "4.0")
	[ the manual has an entry for g-irepository-require

So, with this in mind, the error message is 'correct'. Note that it
would also fail if there is a tipo in the namespace, or if you refer to
a version that does not exist ...

Thanks, I'll look at this.

[1]	I mean you need to find the name of the package and install
it, this is not a G-Golf dependency, it is only needed if you wish t
run those examples, which are mini apps, not part of the G-Golf core
lib ... so to speak, it is 'user dependency' ... I think guix has Gtk-4+
packages, including the package that 'has' the typelib, but I don't use
guix, so i am unable to give you precise guidance ... the #guix channel
is extremely responsive, helpful, and very friendly, so don't be
scared to ask ...
