Could you please show us how to reproduce this? We would need to see the Guix command, the code you run, and ideally the output of “guix describe”. -- Ricardo
bug#57379: GUI toolkit for Guile 3.0?
Thank you for responding, Ricardo! I have tried several permutations of packages, but currently I have this: $ guix package --list-installed guile 3.0.8 out /gnu/store/1jgcbdzx2ss6xv59w55g3kr3x4935dfb-guile-3.0.8 gnutls 3.7.7 out /gnu/store/349nw48785mbxzsl3adc4wch1hslg7fl-gnutls-3.7.7 guile-g-golf 0.1.0-1010.1824633 out /gnu/store/vwkaxl1cl76yxdpzvkvx0sclkyksqm9g-guile-g-golf-0.1.0-1010.1824633 $ guix describe Generation 2 Aug 21 2022 10:50:20 (current) guix 706b3ef repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git branch: master commit: 706b3ef38b2f7ce9f05aa56e2eaaaf1c19e25f90 With that, I run guix shell guile guile-g-golf . Within that shell, I run the script found at https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/g-golf.git/tree/examples/gtk-4/hello-world.scm , and it produces those errors, and hangs. I am a complete n00b with guix (and g-golf, but I have some history with guile), so I'm assuming I'm doing things incorrectly. That's why I'm trying permutations of package installs; I get the same errors with gtk 4.6.6 installed and included on the guix shell command. So I'm willing to try whatever you suggest, to get this bug closed. My base OS is Ubuntu 22.04, which only lets me install guile 3.0.7 via apt, and the other packages are similarly out-of-date or broken - which is why I turned to guix. It has done well on the other packages I've tried (gnutls, for one). So please tell me if I can help in any way.

bug#57440: Guile manual has incorrect history on the name
Hi. https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Early-Days.html isn't correct where in the fourth paragraph it says "Jim Blandy suggested a new name for GEL". It was actually me, as documented in the second paragraph here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Guile#History Due to the Tcl Wars some of the name suggestions were becoming offensive, especially to Dr. Ousterhout, so I thought I would suggest something more positive. To my astonishment, Tom Lord liked it and used it, over the objections of others. I'm dying of cancer so soon it won't matter, and I was never a part of Guile's inner circle anyway, so this isn't a truly important issue for me. If it would ruffle political feathers to take credit from Jim then I'm fine with leaving it as is, but I do feel responsibility to simply report it here - especially before someone else does and asks why the manual and Wikipedia don't match.

I created a patch that does the change and references it. From the history it looks like this part has been written in one go back then and did not change, so it possibly was just a mis-remembering.

Vielen Dank, mein Herr. I was tremendously honored, and still am, to have been a tiny part of Guile. I hope to contribute more in small ways, time permitting. I'm delighted to see the progress made over the years, and I hope the best for the team.
