Hi there,

I've just tried to install mcomix on Guix System, but have had no luck
running it.

Upon installing and trying to run it in the shell, it fails with:

> [MainThread] ERROR: You do not have the required versions of GTK+ 3.0 installed.

Does GTK need to be added to its inputs?

Thanks, did that.

Thanks, did that.

I tried it in a pure shell and apart from the usual missing icons, it
launched fine.  Closing.

Cheers
