There’s no actual error message here.  Could you look for the full log
under /nix/var/log/nix/drvs, and check if there’s an error message
somewhere above?  (It may have been built with ‘make -jX’, so the output
is intermingled.)

Normally it should be using pre-compiled binaries from hydra.gnu.org by
default.

What do you have in /nix/var/nix/substitute-binary/cache?

> GUILE v2.1.0

That version does not exist; that’s what Guile ‘master’ calls itself,
but you’d rather use 2.0.9 or 2.0.7 for now.

That said it doesn’t explain the build problem above.

Thanks for your report!

All that was above what I posted was the output of a linking command that
worked correctly. What would I be looking for, for error message syntax?

I have no directory /nix/var at all - just /nix/store. That may be related!


Thanks for your help!

Something starting with “error:”, I guess.

Also, are you running guix-daemon as root, with a special-purpose build
user group, as noted in the “Installation” section of the manual?

The actual directory name depends on your --localstatedir or --prefix
option passed to ‘configure’.  Can you check the value of
‘localstatedir’ in the config.log file?

TIA!

The only thing with in an error in that part of the message is the one that
says collect2: error: ld returned with exit status 1,the really generic gcc
linker error.

It was hiding in /usr/local/var/nix, but unfortunately there's also no
substitute-binaries dir in there either!

Hmm, OK.

And are you doing chroot builds?

Are you using a very recent snapshot of the ‘master’ branch?

Thanks,

As I wrote, it means the deamon is running as root and you have a
special-purpose build user group, as noted in Section “Installation”.
Can you confirm?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
