Apparently it does that after having successfully run ./configure, right? Normally Autoconf-based projects built from tarball do *not* need Autoconf. Now, if Zsh’s build system requires it (which would be bogus), just add ‘autoconf’ (and perhaps ‘automake’) to ‘inputs’. > PS – I built git guix inside of the guix 0.5 emacs, and I felt like that may > have had unfavorable results.

That is weird (though Emacs has nothing to do with that, I suppose.) What does ‘ls -l ~/.guix-profile’ show? Thanks, Ludo’.
