I’m trying to get Guix build according to the instructions at Building from Git (GNU Guix Reference Manual)
The git clone and authenticate steps went fine. I tried this adding a few items to the guix invocation, on a Debian host if it matters, with guix shell -D guix help2man git strace guile which neovim pkg-config gcc-toolchain --pure

configure: error:
No Guile development packages were found.
Please verify that you have Guile installed. If you installed Guile
from a binary distribution, please verify that you have also installed
the development packages. If you installed it yourself, you might need
to adjust your PKG_CONFIG_PATH; see the pkg-config man page for more.
Are as far as I’m able to progress. I’m ultimately trying to patch some other packages to work with aarch64-linux but I’m stuck at this step with what appears to be a working guile on my path:
guile --version
