It is a common "mistake" and there is an entry in the manual about that: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/guix.html#The-GCC-toolchain Moreover, I am not sure what you want is 'libgccjit' but 'gcc-toolchain'. > These are the names developers expect for the compiler. They don't > expect a name like libgccjit. However, you are right. Something is wrong with "guix search", for example: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- guix search gcc | recsel -p name,relevance | head -11 name: libgccjit relevance: 11 name: gccmakedep relevance: 11 name: gccgo relevance: 11 name: gcc-toolchain relevance: 11 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It is unfortunate and the synopsis of 'libgccjit' should be more descriptive than "GNU Compiler Collection". > With the aliases in place, a command like 'guix install gcc' works as expected. As said above, the right command is "guix install gcc-toolchain". > Without the aliases (and absent a sane package name), people have to > lookup the documentation and read how to use the package manager for a > simple task like installing the compiler.

What could be improved in the manual? How did you process after $ guix install gcc guix install: error: gcc: unknown package ? Which terms did you use with "guix search"? All the best, simon
