Hi John,
Thank you, after installing gcc-toolchain, it worked!
Then this is indeed a bug that should be very simple to fix? Just require gcc-toolchain (or some of its required features) as a GHC's dependency?
I am also curious, what kind of testing (if any?) does Guix perform for packages?? Or is GHC already marked as broken?
(Apology for repeated question marks
)
~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ guix install gcc-toolchain

Hi yasu,
Compiling with ghc requires a c toolchain (like gcc-toolchain) installed to work. Can you try again after installing gcc-toolchain? Ghc has not been perfect for me recently but I use it quite a lot.
Hope that helps,
John
