Are you using GuixSD or Guix on a "foreign distro"?

Where is Guix installed?=C2=A0 If you used the =E2=80=9Cbinary = installation=E2=80=9D method,
Guix is installed in /root/.guix-profile, which is why you only get to
see its manual when running =E2=80=98info=E2=80=99 as root.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.


Yes, that is the case, there is no mystery, there is indeed a=C2=A0/root/.guix-profile/share/info/guix.in= fo
and there is NOT a
~user/.guix-profile/share/info/guix.info

However I con= sider that a bug. Here I am a user, using guix, and I expect "info gui= x" to work. Why would the user have to switch to root just to read thi= s one info file? After installing guix,=C2=A0 I would expect guix.info to be in my defalt .guix-profile, or a least a= notice of how to install
guix.info. ( coping and linking I know how to do, that= 's not the problem. It's a question
of creating a polished piece of software.) Would "guix package -i= guix" do the right thing?
That se= ems all wrong, would install stuff I already have.

I acknowledge my = understanding of the guix system is incomplete.

Ok I did, as suggested,
guix packag= e -i guix
which I was afraid of, fearing some ouroboros stran= ge loop destruction of the universe;
fears unfounded, only cu= rious effect was dozens or hundreds of

warning: collision= encountered: /gnu/store/wfvxxpdhnzd59v ...
warning: arbitrarily choosin= g /gnu/store/wfvxxpdhnzd59vkad1z...
=C2=A0
type me= ssages. Otherwise, seems to work.

A= s suggested by Efraim Flashner=C2=A0 , add that command to the Binary insta= ll instructions.

Now, about your fi= ne manual, on http://w= ww.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/=C2=A0
we see "last updated November 04, 2015"
Please use a cronjob to update the manual nightly , or so,= to the latest version. The universe will thank you.

Otherwise, seems to work. That's not optimal. Those messages mean that of the store directories linked to from your profile, more than one provide a given path. For example, GNU Parallel and moreutils both have a path "bin/parallel": /gnu/store/7ggbvsql79s5i05a3v8cbn48kdrzf7nc-parallel-20151222/bin/parallel /gnu/store/ax4ppgzmx5cjqr813l3djgzhiniam1yz-moreutils-0.57/bin/parallel If you install both in your profile, those two paths both become: ~/.guix-profile/bin/parallel And so you get a warning and the conflict is resolved arbitrarily. You can't have both of the "parallels" in your profile at once.

That's not optimal. Those messages mean that of the store direct= ories
linked to from your profile, more than one provide a given path.

For example, GNU Parallel and moreutils both have a path "bin/parallel= ":
/gnu/store/7ggbvsql79s5i05a3v8cbn48kdrzf7nc-parallel-20151222/bin/parallel<= br> /gnu/store/ax4ppgzmx5cjqr813l3djgzhiniam1yz-moreutils-0.57/bin/parallel

If you install both in your profile, those two paths both become:
~/.guix-profile/bin/parallel

And so you get a warning and the conflict is resolved arbitrarily. You
can't have both of the "parallels" in your profile at once.
Were the conflicting paths related to Guix?

I= don't have the lines anymore, I think they are related to lots of pack= ages beside guix.
As I learn, then I will know more; for now = I will ignore ignorable messages from my
computer, and move o= n.

Sometimes, the messages are ignorable, and sometimes not. The two 'parallels' are not interchangeable.
