Thanks for responding. When I run this, I got this er= ror:

My= manifest file only installs racket and icedtea@2.6.6:jdk. If I rerun the s= ame command, I get "nothing to be done".

You should use =E2=80=98specification->package=E2=80=99 as discus= sed at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/ht= ml_node/Using-the-Configuration-System.html#index-specification_0= 02d_003epackage>.

The =E2=80=98specification->package=E2=80=99 procedure takes a spec like= those you=E2=80=99d
write on the =E2=80=98guix package -i=E2=80=99 command line, and returns th= e
corresponding package.=C2=A0 =E2=80=98specification->package+output= =E2=80=99 works similarly
but also returns the specified output (the part that comes after the
colon).

So your manifest would look something like:

=C2=A0 (use-modules (gnu))

=C2=A0 (packages->manifest
=C2=A0 =C2=A0(map (compose list specification->package+output)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 '("icedtea@2.6.6:jdk" "emacs= " "vim" =E2=80=A6)))

HTH!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
