> Hey guys, I’ve recently installed guix on my pc, and was doing some post intallation stuff, like using guix pull and than guix system -E reconfigure ~/.config/guix/system.scm, but i’m getting a few errors that I can’t work around. The result for guix pull is the following: cannot build derivation `/gnu/store/iwsf3gkckkijf3szcvafv24ba5gwnh62-profile.drv': 1 dependencies couldn't be built guix pull: erro: build of `/gnu/store/iwsf3gkckkijf3szcvafv24ba5gwnh62-profile.drv' failed and for guix sy…

If that doesn’t help could you post your current config.scm file please?

I have this as my channels.scm file in ~/.config/guix/channels.scm

```scheme
(list (channel
        (name 'guix)
        (url "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
        (branch "master")
        (introduction
          (make-channel-introduction
            "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad"
            (openpgp-fingerprint
              "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA"))))
      (channel
        (name 'nonguix)
        (url "https://gitlab.com/nonguix/nonguix")
        (introduction
          (make-channel-introduction
            "897c1a470da759236cc11798f4e0a5f7d4d59fbc"
            (openpgp-fingerprint
              "2A39 3FFF 68F4 EF7A 3D29 12AF 6F51 20A0 22FB B2D5")))))

```

And then run `guix pull`

I also have my system config file in the same location and run `sudo guix system reconfigure ~/.config/guix/system.scm`

Thanks. Hope that helps.
