Thanks to all. I have a VirtualBox VM running on Mac OSX High Sierra. Took a few days to compile everything from sources using = --substitute-urls=3D"https://berlin.guixsd.org=E2=80=9D. Don=E2=80=99t = do this unless you are very patient. There were a few problems along the way. I think my initial problem was I was using the hydra site initially just = before it went down. Somewhere along the way I did a guix pull, etc and = I couldn=E2=80=99t install guile-2.2.3 and guile-2.2.4. So I decided to = abort the whole thing and setup a new VM. While installing the new VM, I found some issues with the install = scripts: bzip2 =E2=80=94> The correct fix from Leo was to download the file as = follows=E2=80=94> guix download = https://web.archive.org/web/20180624184835/http://www.bzip.org/1.0.6/bzip2= -1.0.6.tar.gz texlive-20170524 =E2=80=94> =46rom Mark, I downloaded from =E2=80=94> = ftp://tug.org/texlive/historic/2017/texlive-20170524-extra.tar.xz nss-3.36.1 =E2=80=94> So I received an answer on this, but no definitive = solution. Sorry, I had to edit the builder script and remove the tests = to get this to install. I guess I will install this properly later when = it gets fixed. guix-artwork-6998d30 =E2=80=94> So I have no idea how to download this = file. Instead, I (sorry Mark) edit the = rsgj5syf4azvg4y80gqbr94gr4i9226y-guix-artwork-6998d30-checkout.drv file = and changed it to https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix/guix-artwork.git I know your not supposed to edit these, but had I not, I would be = waiting for a while. When these are fixed, I will install them = properly. I guess I was the guinea pig to show that there are some issues with the = install that need to be addressed. Thanks everyone. Now I can play with the fresh OS. Brian. :)
