I'm writing now from the machine on which i previously "could not install guix". I have installed guix on it. It has not gone well, but after several days of struggle it more or less sort of works.
Since installing it I have successfully done 'guix pull' a few times, but a day or two ago it stopped working with various apparently memory-related errors. This machine has 16GB ram. I don't know exactly what this error message means: levity@dis_box ~$ guix pull Updating channel 'guix' from Git repository at 'https://git.guix.gnu.org/guix.git'... free(): invalid pointer Aborted .. but I suspect it is not related to a shortage of RAM. Meanwhile I have been able to install and upgrade packages as usual with no apparent issues. I have tried rolling-back to the previous generation (only 2 were listed in 'guix package --list-generations when I tried this) but with no apparent change. I have done 'guix package --upgrade' but that did not affect guix per its output, and did not change the behavior of 'guix pull'. I tried 'guix refresh', even though I don't understand what it does; it ran for a long time and then failed with an error I forgot to write down. I observed no effect on 'guix pull'.
