So I've downloaded the latest guix tarball from ftp.gnu.org, built it and installed it according
to the instructions in INSTALL (using the default parameters).
Then I install a few packages using 'guix package -i <pkgname>' and start trying them out by setting
my path: export PATH="$HOME/.guix-profile/bin:$PATH" - To my delight, using guix I can install lots of
packages and run them.
After a while I run "guix package -i guix" which installs just fine. But sadly now guix is broken. Wheneve
I run any command I get:
guix package: error: failed to connect to `/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket': No such file or directory
Shouldn't we have a --localstatedir option or an environment variable so that guix knows where to find its state
dir?
J'
