Good point. Perhaps CHICKEN should keep references to the GCC toolchain that was used to build it, or propagate it. OTOH, it can in theory use whatever GCC that it finds in $PATH, and people using the interpreter don’t need GCC, which would be an argument in favor of the status quo. Thoughts? > I installed gcc separately, and then a test of chicken-install produced > this error: > > linux/limits.h: No such file or directory #include <linux/limits.h> > > I was testing chicken-install with this command: > > $ chicken-install matchable Could you run: guix package -r gcc -i gcc-toolchain and try again? The ‘gcc-toolchain’ package provides GCC, Binutils, glibc, and a wrapper around ‘ld’ (it makes sure every library linked against is added to the RUNPATH.) Thanks for reporting the issue, Ludo’.
