I have attached the patch file to this email. This patch fixes the installation process but it place guix within root's directory. I personally prefer that the Guix daemon points to my home directory > because I don't want to update root's profile. Some other people might > prefer that it points to ~root because they might later delete their > profile and want Guix to keep working. > Do we have to take a decision here? Can't we just let the user decide > by letting them customize their environment variables? I think it is > the point of environment variables: giving freedom to users. We can further work on the script's flexibility using the environment variable solution. -- Tatiana
