Another thing I find a little strange. When I install a package or an environment it completes fine. When I add then --no-substitutes flag and it always builds stuff like openssl and libgcrypt, pango and such from source. I.e., it creates a build system (I suppose). If the install is complete it should not have to do that. Even if I do guix environment -C guix (which should include a build system, right?) and after completion run the same with --no-substitutes it starts to build right away. Any thoughts on that? Pj.
