Basically I am doing git checkout v0.13.0 guix environment guix make check make install I have also tried with this the most recent commit on master, with the same failure.

I did, in an earlier cycle. More precisely, I did ./configure --prefix=/opt/guix --localstatedir=/var in order to prevent Guix from overwriting some of Ubuntu's system files. In order to start from a clean slate, I now did guix environment guix make distclean ./bootstrap ./configure --prefix=/opt/guix --localstatedir=/var make check sudo make install This fails even earlier, complaining about a missing makeinfo: make[2]: Entering directory '/home/hinsen/Development/guix' MAKEINFO doc/guix.info /home/hinsen/Development/guix/build-aux/missing: line 81: makeinfo: command not found Checking config.log, I see that indeed makeinfo has not been found: MAKEINFO='${SHELL} /home/hinsen/Development/guix/build-aux/missing makeinfo' However, it is available in my environment: ~/Development/guix [dev]$ which makeinfo /gnu/store/2kgp5d4wh40b49gp4qwqh2b4il29gq6g-profile/bin/makeinfo There are a few other executables marked as missing: aclocal autoconf autoheader automake dot help2man I started from scratch again, but added the paths for these executables manually to the generated Makefile, right after configure.

I don’t think it ever behaved like that, because it hardly has anything to install. Hence I don’t think there have been any changes.

I am beginning to wonder if this is part of the anomalies I observe, because I agree that guix shouldn´t need to install anything beyond its entry point, the executable /usr/local/bin/guix. But on my system, it installs 1877 files under /opt/guix, and all those would probably go to /usr/local by default.

I misspoke. Guix consists of a growing number of Guile modules. These modules go to $prefix/share/guile/…, because that’s where Guile would read them from. What I was referring to was installing Guix using the binary deployment method. It essentially is a pre-filled /gnu/store directory, which contains all of Guix in its own prefix. Beyond that it doesn’t spill anything into the global namespace. You are correct, however, that building from source and running “make install” *will* install Guix to the specified prefix. What I’m pretty sure does *not* happen, though, is that this *overwrites* any files that Ubuntu (or any other system) uses. It is well-behaved in that it installs things into the expected directories under the given prefix. (With the “pre-inst-env” script it’s possible to run Guix without installing it, so you don’t even have to run “make install” at all if you just want to bootstrap Guix.) It would be interesting to know which files it seemingly overwrote. I find it hard to guess. >>>> No, the configure script is probably okay. Maybe something’s up with >>>> your environment.

That’s very odd and I cannot reproduce it :( >> Could you share the output of “env” within the pure guix environment? > > Sure: […] This actually looks okay. The configure script looks for tools on the PATH, which appears to be correct. I don’t understand what’s going on here.

It does put everything into the correct directories, but that doesn't prevent version conflicts with my Ubuntu installation.

That's a useful suggestion, thanks! All I want to do is develop my own package definitions, and eventually contribute them to the official distribution.
