[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
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...~/co/haskell-tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ ghc a.hs[1 of
1] Compiling Main             ( a.hs, a.o )Linking a ...~/co/haskell-
tiny-intro/exercise (master *)$ ghc --versionThe Glorious Glasgow
Haskell Compilation System, version 8.8.3
Cheers,
Yasu
