Re: guile-readline bug -- readline module not available
Correct. Moved, new job, and other stuff came up so I had to drop guix participation for a bit. Not ready to pick it back up yet.

This is on a foreign distribution, right? The '.guile' on Guix System has a trick that automatically loads readline when available: --8<---cut here---start->8--- $ cat ~/.guile (cond ((false-if-exception (resolve-interface '(ice-9 readline))) => (lambda (module) ;; Enable completion and input history at the REPL. ((module-ref module 'activate-readline (else (display "Consider installing the 'guile-readline' package for convenient interactive line editing and input history.\n\n"))) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Can you try asking again or perhaps someone else who sees what I'm missing can answer. Best, Jack
Re: guile-readline bug -- readline module not available
The thing is that I want those dependencies in order to illustrate the bug that the readline module for guile is not available.

It can be replicated via: `echo "(use-modules (ice-9 readline))" | guix environment --pure guile guile-readline -- guile` So with that, I'm pretty sure it isn't just me. I think you actually want to be using a different guix environment command. guix environment --pure --ad-hoc guile guile-readline should get you what you want. The difference is that without --ad-hoc, what you're asking for is an environment with all the dependencies of guile and guile-readline. This is useful, for instance, if you want to work on those packages. In this case, guile is available because guile-readline depends on it, but nothing depends on guile-readline, so it is not in the environment. With --ad-hoc, you specify the the packages you want in the environment explicitly. See the manual [0] for more information and more advanced usage of environment. [0] https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Invoking-guix-environment.html This isn't the first time the --ad-hoc has caused confusion. I tend to use that option more often than not. There was previous discussion [1] about making environment more friendly to use interactively without breaking compatibility, but more work is still needed on that front.

guile-readline bug -- readline module not available
Hello all, I ran into an issue where the readline module isn't available for the guile repl after installing `guile-readline`. It can be replicated via: `echo "(use-modules (ice-9 readline))" | guix environment --pure guile guile-readline -- guile` So with that, I'm pretty sure it isn't just me.
