Subject: bug#55709: R texinfo documents are not showing up for me
Date: Tue, 31 May 2022 00:35:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87leuiwm1q.fsf@posteo.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87h7587yoj.fsf@gnu.org>
Hi Ludo,
I tried with both info-reader and emacs. The former (your command)
worked (yay!), while the latter (see below) errored out: saying emacs
could not be found.
guix shell r emacs -- emacs
# /gnu/store/rg8f1jd773n2l78p24m1gds3dmvcgkjq-profile/bin/emacs: error while loading shared libraries: /gnu/store/vncwfb53kbnyflyc1jyd2xv9sifpw202-gtk+-3.24.30/lib/libgdk-3.so.0: file too short
However, I tried also with emacs-no-x and it picked up the R texinfo
manuals with no problems. I also checked the INFOPATH and saw those
files directly in there. That's certainly better than on my system where
they are not.
The first item in $(guix describe) is:
guix acb0830
repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
branch: master
commit: acb08304c862d65679086a9f160240bfd598289d
Cheers,
Kyle
