Hello,

Am I doing something wrong?

$ guix package -i ghc-8
[installs fine]

$ ghc --version
/gnu/store/50gn6ahfc0llldy6ggrnj1hc5wsxyfh9-ghc-8.0.1/lib/ghc-8.0.1/bin/ghc:
error while loading shared libraries: libncursesw.so.6: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

The ncurses libraries are available:
