Hi,
> I am trying to prepare guix for installing at non-root location. I have > followed the documentation available here: > https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes/blob/master/INSTALL.org#error-in-procedure-scm-error-no-code-for-module-gcrypt-hash I’d just like to note that this is not official documentation of the Guix project. I don’t know if this is still accurate information. Do you want to build everything from source on your system or do you prefer to use binaries from the Guix project’s build farms? Do you have access to user namespaces / can you use “unshare” for file system shenanigans? > ./pre-inst-env guix package -i guix We don’t recommend using Guix from a git checkout in most cases, because… > substitute: ERROR: In procedure scm-error: > substitute: no code for module (gcrypt hash) …you would need to take care of providing the appropriate Guile environment all by yourself whereas “guix pull” does all of this for you. This error tells you that guile-gcrypt is not available in the environment in which the daemon runs. I would also like to suggest an alternative to a root-less installation. At the HPC cluster where I work we run the guix-daemon as root on a virtual machine where /gnu/store is a writable NFS share. Every machine that uses Guix only needs to mount this share as read-only. -- Ricardo
