Cannot install packages

Cannot install packages

[Xinglu Chen]

I am trying to install Guix on NixOS, thanks to this[0] repo, I was able to
install Guix.  But I cannot seem to install packages with it, when I run
`guix pull`, I get

$ guix pull

Running `guix install hello` gives the same error

$ guix install hello

When doing `guix install --fallback hello`, it can download the tarballs
just fine, but packages cannot get built.

Any ideas on why this happens?

Re: Cannot install packages

[Xinglu Chen]

I ended up installing Guix from the binary bootstrap rather than
compiling from source, and it worked as expected. :-)

If anyone else bumps into the same problem, see the discussion I had
with some other people [1].

Sorry for the noise.
