guix import issue

guix import issue

[Ben Woodcroft]

Hi,

I'm having a little trouble using guix import, after successfully 
running guix pull. It seems to occur regardless of the specific package 
I use, and a similar problem occurs when trying to import from cpan (and 
perhaps others). I have not previously run guix import.

Any ideas?

This means that guile-json cannot be found.  It is needed to parse the
JSON metadata for a given Python module.

You initially installed guix with the binary tarball method, did you
not?  Did it work before "guix pull" or is this the very first time you
are trying it?

(I do not know why guile-json would not be present when guix was
installed via tarball, nor why it would be missing after "guix pull", so
I'm hoping for someone else to comment on this.)

Hmm, installing didn't fix it though. The pythonpath thing was because I 
just installed python2 and is unrelated I think. Unclear to me from the 
output though, did it attempt to install it at that point?

Also, I have this problem on 2 boxes. The other box I did not have 
guile-json installed (I think):

ben@ben:~/git/guix_ben/ben/packages$ guix package -I guile-json

Correct. My install procedure was I think quite by the book, as you know 
at http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/bio-packaging/2015-June/000012.html

import never worked but then I cannot remember if I tried it or not.

I am running the daemon like so
root@u:~# /root/.guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon 
--build-users-group=guix-builder --no-substitutes

ok.

Actually ‘guix package’ has failed to tell you about the GUILE_LOAD_PATH
and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH variables (that’s because Guile is not
explicitly installed, only used indirectly by Guix.)

I guess the following definitions will allow Guile-JSON to be found,
thereby allowing ‘guix import pypi’ to work:

  export GUILE_LOAD_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0
  export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0

Can you confirm?

I think we should improve this by changing the ‘guix’ package to have
the ‘guix’ command wrapped such that GUILE_LOAD_PATH is always correctly
set.  I’ll work on that.

Thank you,
Ludo’.

That changes the error. I have the suspicion that I have somehow mangled 
guix on my system and this new error is unrelated (ctrl-C during guix 
pull, perhaps?). So I'm guessing this is a confirmation?

One of the benefits of Guix is that you can press Ctrl-C any time
without consequences (I do it regularly).

This tells that your gnutls misses guile bindings (it may be that your
distro compiles gnutls with "--disable-guile" option).  I think it
should be fixed if you install gnutls with guix: "guix package -i
gnutls".

Thanks for the update. I knew this was true of installing packages, just 
wasn't sure about other operations.

This does indeed fix the error, and now I'm all set. Thanks.

It is not true for compiling Guix the first time from source. 

Once you are running guix itself to install/compile packages is a
transaction.  Sometimes annoyingly so because it keeps downloading and
building the same tarballs until completion.

Guile is everywhere, even GNU make:

Blessed is the man in whose spirit there is no guile ;).
