I am not having much luck installing GUIX because of the long list of
version specific dependencies. The best route, so far, is installing
Nix 1.7 first and then try to bootstrap using those tools. Now I have
nix-env --version
nix-env (Nix) 1.7
[pprins@blauwspar guix]$ ls /nix/store/*guile*
/nix/store/gkm53ax9j38r9pvl5jq3dsj2if79rdml-guile-2.0.9.tar.xz.drv

which is probably harmless and now ./configure does not find guile, even though
which guile
~/.nix-profile/bin/guile
ls /nix/store/*guile*

Any switch that I can pass in to make this work?
I think it would be an idea to add a Nix package for guix for people like me.
