Hi Ricardo,

No, it wasn't enough. (I could be wrong - I am still learning Guix. 😅)

But I spent a lot of time picking my hair out, trying to figure out why guix edit hello would not find the scm file under my locally checked out guix repository.

When I followed the instructions on the link, the "bulletproof" way, my problem immediately went away. And I thought it was probably fixed by the -C option (creating a container) 😄

I rely on the -C option below to compile ./pre-inst-env .

I hope this is a bug that can be fixed. Otherwise, it looks like I
won't be able to compile pre-inst-env?

Is “guix environment --pure” not enough?
