Hi,
I've noticed that I also experience similar failures when I try to
install certain packages. For example, I cannot install ncurses or
autoconf:
marusich@garuda ~$ guix package -i autoconf
guix package: error: socket: Protocol not supported
marusich@garuda ~$ guix package -i ncurses
guix package: error: socket: Protocol not supported
However, I CAN install python:
marusich@garuda ~$ guix package -i python
The following package will be installed:
python 3.4.3 /gnu/store/y5x6c38fzrbfl80jxrgjd6py2k88x12a-python-3.4.3
[... I've omitted the rest of the output ...]
I've noticed that ncurses and autoconf both use the "mirror://" pseudo
protocol; perhaps this is somehow related to the problem?
gnu/packages/ncurses.scm:
...
(package
(name "ncurses")
(version "6.0")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/ncurses/ncurses-"
version ".tar.gz"))
...
gnu/packages/autotools.scm:
...
(define-public autoconf
(package
(name "autoconf")
(version "2.69")
(source
(origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/autoconf/autoconf-"
version ".tar.xz"))
...
However, the python module uses "https://":
gnu/packages/python.scm
...
(define-public python
(package (inherit python-2)
(version "3.4.3")
(source (origin
(method url-fetch)
(uri (string-append "https://www.python.org/ftp/python/";
version "/Python-" version ".tar.xz"))
...
If there's any way I can provide more information, please let me know.
I'm having trouble debugging this any further because I'm just
starting to learn Guile; no matter what I do I can't seem to make guix
give me additional information beyond "Protocol not supported."
I hope this information helps.
