Last week I tried to follow the manual (binary install with Ubuntu) and use
`guix pull` without success, `--fallback` option was there and I had a lot
of troubles with [module-import-compiled](
https://gist.github.com/helios/6d13037a7ae7be40f118573545cbccb3)
In #guix irc I found valuable helps (cbaines, rekado) and I ended up using
the git source
git clone --recurse git://git.savannah.gnu.org/guix.git
cd guix
guix environment --fallback --pure --container -N guix --ad-hoc guile-cairo
guile-charting guile-rsvg -- sh -c "make clean; ./bootstrap &&
./configure --localstatedir=/var
&& make -j4"
ln -s ~/guix ~/.config/guix/latest
guix package -u
maybe the git/source install should be documented as well or at least
tested from scratch for newbies such as me.
