I have installed guix on a freshly new i686 gNewSense 3.1 (which uses kernel 2.6.32). The system build fails during "check" phase of util-linux-2.25.2. I have dug a little on and found the error comes from the fscanf in util-linux-2.25.2/sys-utils/ipcutils.c:113 expecting 16 values in /proc/sysvipc/shm, while min having only 14. My impression is util-linux checks have a dependency on the kernel being fairly recent. My points: 1) should check phase be disabled for util-linux depending on some kernel version check? 2) I tried adding "#:tests? #f" to my own modified ~/guix/linux.scm (copied from system-wide /usr/local/share/guile/site/2.0/gnu/packages/linux.scm). This allowed building with "guix package -L $HOME/guix build util-linux" but system build still fails during the tests (would seem guix system ignores -L flag and takes system-wide recipe). I am fairly new to Guix so might be missing some obvious point. Any clues? Thanks, Carlos --=20 'Tambi=C3=A9n hay r=C3=ADos metaf=C3=ADsicos, Horacio. Vos te vas a tirar a= uno de esos r=C3=ADos.'
