Welcome! :-)

The Guix Data Service indicates that the package avogrado is broken.

Before that, I get:

I get the same thing.  But I think the error comes from an early step.


Well, then I am running:

  cd /tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0
  mkdir mine && cd mine
  guix environmment avogadro
  cmake ../avogadro-1.2.0-checkout/

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[..]
CMake Error: failed to create symbolic link '/tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0/my/libavogadro/include/avogadro//tmp/guix-build-avogadro-1.2.0.drv-0/my/libavogadro/src/config.h': no such file or directory
[..]
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So I would try to address this first error by examining the folder avogadro-1.2.0-checkout/.


All the best,
simon
