Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I became suspicious about this package recipe when I noticed that it had no inputs. Unfortunately, MongoDB is one of those projects that bundles the source code for all of their dependencies in their release tarballs. Here's a list from the src/third_party directory: asio-asio-1-11-0 boost-1.56.0 gperftools-2.2 IntelRDFPMathLib20U1 libstemmer_c mozjs-38 murmurhash3 pcre-8.36 pcre-8.37 s2 SConscript shim_allocator.cpp shim_asio.cpp shim_boost.cpp shim_intel_decimal128.cpp shim_mozjs.cpp shim_pcrecpp.cc shim_snappy.cpp shim_stemmer.cpp shim_tz.cpp shim_v8.cpp shim_wiredtiger.cpp shim_yaml.cpp shim_zlib.cpp snappy-1.1.2 tz unicode-8.0.0 valgrind-3.11.0 wiredtiger yaml-cpp-0.5.1 zlib-1.2.8 This is a really bad practice from a security and maintenance perspective, so in Guix we do our best to unbundle as many things as possible. I recommend deleting everything above besides the "shim_*" files using a snippet in the origin record (search for "snippet" in gnu/packages for examples) and seeing if its possible to use system-provided dependencies for everything. From a quick look, you'll probably have to package an additional library or two. Thanks and sorry! - Dave
