Thanks a lot for sharing these forays into Guix' uncharted waters :-)

This looks like a driver problem.  Can you post the output of
"dmesg | grep -w 'drm|r600|radeon'" ?

I seem to recall that hardware acceleration on radeon/amdgpu requires
proprietary microcode, even when using the free driver.  Maybe that is
related?

Try “export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8; export LANG=en_US.utf8”; does it help?

OK.

(Please keep help-guix in Cc.)

Can you run the “locale” command and post the result?  Likewise for 
“env | grep LC”.

Also, how did you install Guix?

Thanks,

No, there’s no such thing.

However, I would hope that development versions can easily be packaged,
either from the command-line using ‘--with-source’¹, or by defining a
package variant as in:

  (define emacs-git
(package
  (inherit emacs)
  (source …)))

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hello Jone,

The (ice-9 readline) module is now part of the ‘guile-readline’
package.  Thus, to get that functionality, you need to run:

  guix package -i guile-readline

HTH!

Could you show ‘%load-path’ and ‘%load-compiled-path’ by evaluating them
in a ‘guile’ REPL?

Thanks,
Oleg.
