It seems to me that there is some misunderstanding. R, the language itself is packaged: (see the variable r-with-test near the top of gnu/packages/statistics.scm, if you are interested, but I would leave that for later). You should try packaging some R package, for example from CRAN. See https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/available_packages_by_name.html for a package list. Please select something that is not already packaged. R packages in guix are named like r-*. Once you have a candidate, you can use the cran importer to generate the package definition. See it here: https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-import.html > I am having trouble with the ./configure part.
