Hello! Yes, nix and guix do not behave like most *nix systems when it comes to binaries, as system libraries aren't where the binaries expect then to be.
Usually, we work around it with PatchElf, which tells the binary the library location. But the actual solution is to package everything we find.
worry not, i have started a tor browser package myself :) i'll finish it when i'm back from vacation.
i suggest using icecat's tor extension for now, or using patchelf. Come to #guix on freenode, or send an email to [email protected], we'll help you out.

They called it Goyix for a reason
David Reed
holy shit an actual guix developer replied ?
Leo Thomas
Its a broken piece of shit distro that has no packages, you fell for the shill that has been samefagging Jow Forums
Ian Robinson
ye, i lurk around here all the time, call for marlin on the irc
Evan Myers
The lack of packages is something we'll solve with time, by packaging :P
William Roberts
may i request you package super tux racer?
teehee
Adam Johnson
Sure! I'm actually packaging free games and game-dev tools lately. Will also get itch.io titles.
i was packaging lutris, but it will stay on my personal channel, as it's not compatible with the official repo's rules

op I think you're retarded
Austin Jenkins
sounds like bait a lot
or maybe legit
Brandon Young
Because you're using the fork instead of the original greatest package manager
Gavin Diaz
Made a thread, i'd like to get some packages for my fellow Jow Forumsuix men

Guix uses it's own filesystem hierarchy.
It stores all of its packages under the Guix "store" (not a online package store)
gnu.org

Nix is great. Guix people don't dislike nix in any way, they are sibling software (or maybe nix is guix's mother). This issue is also on nix tho, it has to do with our way of isolating packages on /gnu and /nix
just call me out on the irc then :P
Ian Ramirez
so the problem is env can't locate the interpreter?
Luke Jackson
The issue is the binary is searching for libraries on the traditional GNU file system hierarchy, but guix doesn't to stuff that way. You must use patchelf to tell the binary where stuff is, or make a package for the software in question. I've seen people using a debian chroot, but i dislike the idea.
The best solution is packaging.
Anthony Peterson
how does the package work in guix?
do the binaries get patched so it will search inside /guix?
Nicholas Harris
I'd let her fork my systemd, if you know what I mean.
Asher Lewis
i don't know too much, as i'm still a new dev, but afaik it works with symlinks in a way that the packages see a fake, traditional hierarchy per user, then work fine as they see everything in the right place.
