Thanks again, David. I was able to use a solution from Ricardo to get
guile-gi to run under guix, but it didn't work for g-golf. :-( Even so, I
was serious about wanting to help you out. My Ubuntu system has guile
3.0.7, which I hope would be OK. For g-golf, would you recommend I clone
your github repo and compile it . . . ? I can give that a try. I'm not
entirely sure that packages installed by guix won't interfere, and I don't
yet know how to uninstall guix, but I'll give it my best shot for you.
