What exactly goes wrong when /tmp is less that 4 GB? There are a handful
of packages that require more than 4 GB of storage while building, but I
don't believe any of them are required to build hello.
after
guix package -i hello
there was 3 hours of building on a desktop machine. looked like a
make world
build was going on.
I wonder why, since on a guixSD it installing hello was much faster.
also beginners should be advised to make sure that `locale` does not
print any errors. export LC_... vars in bashrc so locale is 100 percent
OK BEFORE you go to install guix.
Else you will run into `cannot set locale` error repeatedly.
