I'm trying to install emacs on GuixSD, which is running on a Thinkpad X200. > What does this command report (run as root): > > guix substitute --help This command just displays help text? > Do you know what substitute server is being used? I don't know. I tried using guix substitute --substitute but I'm having trouble identifying what the other two arguments should be. > Can you try: > > guix build emacs --substitute-urls=http://mirror.hydra.gnu.org It seems to have succeeded: @ build-succeeded /gnu/store/p5bhpqf6zj1kg55p4gyndrppswbskh8k-emacs-24.5.drv - /gnu/store/35nvlacqcl3wv5al5lj3077h0hx4bn2q-emacs-24.5 After doing this, I tried doing "guix package -i emacs" again, and it installed successfully! Thank you for your help; unfortunately I don't know exactly what fixed this but I'd be happy to continue debugging if it's of use to someone. > > Thanks in advance! > > Ludo’. > > PS: Please keep 23557@debbugs.gnu.org Cc’d.
