Hi Damien,

don't listen to them, they don't fave a fedora workstation :p

On my fedora system, configure finds the system guile which doesn't want t=
o use any of the libraries in the environment=2E I always have to do this:

$ guix environment guix --pure
^C if your terminal asks you to install whatever
[env]$ =2E/bootstrap
[env]$ =2E/configure --localstatedir=3D/var # this should now work
[env]$ exit # to exit the pure environment
$ guix environment guix # no need for pure anymore, so now we can use thin=
gs outside of the environment too
[env]$ make

HTH :)
