The Error
guile: warning: failed to install locale
Fix
- The locales error stems from the base profile.
- Locales must be installed in the base profile. Install the following packages in the base profile:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
glibc-locales
glibc-utf8-locales
#+END_SRC
- Also the system must be aware of the path to the locales. To make it aware add the following to your
/root/.profile and ~${HOME}/.profile~:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
########
# GUIX #
########
# locales path
export GUIX_LOCPATH="${HOME}/.guix-profile/lib/locale"
#+END_SRC
- To make it work without logging in or rebooting run:
#+BEGIN_SRC shell
source /root/.profile # as root
source ${HOME}/.profile # as normal user
#+END_SRC
