Started guix-daemon. While trying to install hello package I had few problems, but managed to go further, thanks to the error message emitting from guix-deamon. At first I had to create /gnu/store folder then, changing permissions/group for /gnu/store folder. (This was suggested by error message itself. Nice ) then, there had to create /dev/kvm folder. So the question is why did I have to these manually? is it some thing to do with how I installed the guix.? Finally I installed hello package using `guix package -i hello'. Took around more than two hours. is it legit? Further, If try another package say `guix package -i autoconf'. It is trying to installing whole lot of dependencies AGAIN. am I doing some thing wrong here. Finally, I run above commands as root, now if switch back and try to install as normal user, it seems guix doesn't reuse dependencies installed by root user. is it intended.?
