Jelle,

thank you for your suggestion

But there's something I don't understand

the suggestion to add

--with-freexl-prefix=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT

fixes my guile-freexl but is nor necessary in guile-gcrypt

why ?

The following command seemed to run to completion for me:
[env]$ ./configure --with-freexl-prefix=$GUIX_ENVIRONMENT

Maybe check out the following link, by coincidence about gcrypt as well ;-).
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-02/msg00062.html



this is an excerpt from running configure in guile-gcrypt

checking for guile-config... /home/catonano/.guix-profile/bin/guile-config
checking for libgcrypt-config... /gnu/store/1y54p19lvz3rh6a5dyynnffn9dbal2li-profile/bin/libgcrypt-config
checking libgcrypt's library directory... /gnu/store/hag795ji8p9vqikwp8cibfibpsa39s3n-libgcrypt-1.7.6/lib
checking for libgcrypt shared library name... /gnu/store/hag795ji8p9vqikwp8cibfibpsa39s3n-libgcrypt-1.7.6/lib/libgcrypt



As you can see it checks that "...bin/libgcrypt-config" is present AND it checks the "shared library name"


Now this is configure from my guile-freexl

checking for guile-config... /home/catonano/.guix-profile/bin/guile-config
checking for freexl shared library name... /gnu/store/13p9jpf8gp3mg414az1dsf59vw2hyyw2-profile/lib/libfreexl

as you can see it DOESN'T look for any ...bin/freexl-config AND it doesn't look for the library shared name

why ?

It is substantially the same repo, I cloned it and changed the strings "gcrypt" to "freexl"

That's all I did


Ok, I resigned myself to not understanding what I'm doing and I adopted your suggestion

The configure phase now passes

sigh


No, I actually understood

I was a bit emotiional when I read that thread for the first time

Rereading it now, it was clearer

Sorry for the noise
