Re: build failed: acquiring/releasing lock

Hello Rene, madvise() is not implemented on GNU/Hurd and I had once started implementing a fix for guile [1]. We need to restart that old thread and find a correct solution to this. In the meantime you could use that patch for guile as a workaround. Manolis [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/htm

GuixDays: Perfect Setup: Speaker wanted

Hi, on the page for the Guix-Days I added this one: Demonstration and explanation of The Perfect Setup (Emacs, Geiser, Magit) The reason is that I failed working with the Perfect Setup. So, is there anyone who like to show what's so perfect about that setup and how to set it up? Thanks, Björn
