Using guix pull complains about lack of bootstrap binaries. #6

Open jellelicht opened 7 years ago

When running guix pull via M-x guix, P, r, I get a *Guix Repl* with the following output:

Some debugging on the created guix repl gives me the following:

scheme@(emacs-guix)> (guix-command-output "pull")
$4 = ""
$5 = "guix pull: error: could not find bootstrap binary 'guile-2.0.9.tar.xz' for system 'x86_64-linux'\n"

Invoking guix pull from any shell does seem to have the desired effect, and does not mention the bootstrap binary problem.

Wow, I didn't expect anyone uses "M-x guix" and especially "pull" :-) BTW, there is also "M-x guix-pull".

I don't reproduce this error. Maybe there is some problem with load paths or environment variables. Could you check in the REPL the values of %load-path and %load-compiled-path variables?

Well, currently I am not using it either :wink:

Do you mean you used it in the past (in Emacs-Guix 0.3.2?) and it worked?

These paths look OK to me. To be honest, I have no idea why this error could happen. I tested it on GuixSD, maybe there is something specific to a non-GuixSD system. I'll test it there soon, but even if I will reproduce, I doubt I can do anything. Most of the Guix internals is still a mystery for me :blush:

TBH, I know that this worked on my GuixSD installation, but as my T400 is being repaired I am currently running Guix on Ubuntu. Thanks for looking into this nonetheless :+1:
