Hello, Thanks for the report.

Does it happen when running the installed Guile? That is, you successfully run ‘make’ and ‘make install’ (and ideally ‘make check’), and it’s the installed ‘guile’ binary that produces this message? As most Unix and GNU packages, Guile expects to be installed in the place specified by --prefix. If you install it elsewhere, it will fail to find its companion files, such as ice-9/boot-9.scm. So you really must install it in --prefix, and leave it there. Is it what you did? (Note that this restriction can be worked around by techniques such as found in <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/patches/guile-relocatable.patch>.) Thanks, Ludo’.
