Problem with Glbc-locales: failed to install locale

I'm trying to install guix 14.0 on Trisquel 7 and everything went 
smoothly until I hit the part where you perform some procedures for 
glibc-locales in the manual.

Can you run the “locale” command and post the result?  Likewise for 
“env | grep LC”.

Also, how did you install Guix?

Thanks,

Try “export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8; export LANG=en_US.utf8”; does it help?

OK.

(Please keep help-guix in Cc.)

And what’s the output of:

  ls $GUIX_LOCPATH

and:

  ldd /gnu/store/f8k940vy9gck66m9r4id5m098w3hxgka-bash-minimal-4.4.12/bin/bash | grep libc

Thanks,

Doing |ls $GUIX_LOCPATH|prints my working dir.

That means it’s undefined.  Please run:

  export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale

Does this directory exist?  If it doesn’t you may need to install
the “glibc-locales” package first.

I wonder if this comes from the daemon’s environment.  If so,
GUIX_LOCPATH needs to be set in the environment in which the daemon is
started.

At this point I'm in a fix with getting Guix running normally. I'd like 
to get it running though on Trisquel.

I don't understand this message.  Are you the same person as
darlingmouse, who had trouble earlier in the thread?  What problem are
you having that we can help with?

I'd like to help you out, but I couldn't understand your message.
Perhaps I missed some context.
