Hello,

I am getting there! Everything compiled, and there is now a hello package.
Or rather, lots of them. /nix/store contains
1 hello-2.8.tar.gz
3 hello-2.8.tar.gz.drv
3 hello-2.8.tar.gz-guile-builder
2 hello-2.8
2 hello-2.8.drv
2 hello-2.8-guile-builder
Altogether 13 files or directories, with different hashes prepended.
Unfortunately, all files have the date "Jan 1 1970". It would be nice to
use the real date of modification instead.


The command
   guix-package -i hello
still produces an error, probably related to making the symlinks
in my own environment:

ERROR: In procedure symlink:
ERROR: In procedure symlink: No such file or directory


The directory
"/nix/store/1n6bpxkjq2w1m8nlyc6c6bpf0y8rspi0-user-environment"
exists, and its subdirectory "bin" contains a link "hello" to
/nix/store/g0izbi5fdmnpgc6mwi45sxks390fkm1v-hello-2.8/bin/hello.

So far, there is no ".guix-profile" in my home directory; but
creating it does not change the error message.

Do I need to do anything special? If yes, it would be good to add a
section "installation" to the manual. I suppose I also need to add a line
to my .bashrc to modify $PATH ?
