[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear All,

I seem to be having problems with the installation of an image
processing application called ITK-SNAP [0, 1]. This is the error message
I get:

    $ guix environment --pure --ad-hoc itk-snap
    The following derivations will be built:
       /gnu/store/qx7cx3gjqc709gla302yyaggbihq9kw0-itk-snap-3.8.0.drv

    guix environment: error: build of `/gnu/store/qx7cx3gjqc709gla302yyaggbihq9kw0-itk-snap-3.8.0.drv' failed

If I understand it correctly, this seems to indicate an underlying
problem with vtk-6. As a matter of fact, this also fails:

    $ guix environment --pure --ad-hoc vtk <at> 6.3.0
    The following derivation will be built:
       /gnu/store/r3ndf5r2ck8n5h5sq4phipdvgmv5bagg-vtk-6.3.0.drv

    guix environment: error: build of `/gnu/store/r3ndf5r2ck8n5h5sq4phipdvgmv5bagg-vtk-6.3.0.drv' failed

The output of the following command is attached.

    $ bzcat /var/log/guix/drvs/r3/ndf5r2ck8n5h5sq4phipdvgmv5bagg\
    -vtk-6.3.0.drv.bz2 | tail -n 50

Interestingly, a more recent version of vtk seems to install just fine.

    $ guix environment --pure --ad-hoc vtk
    [this works as expected]

It may be worth to mention that I'm running Guix on a foreign
distribution. This is how my guix self-describes itself:

    $ guix describe
      guix 8dcbd8a
        repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
        branch: master
        commit: 8dcbd8a374f21f478f0059d4d62e364897e6e667

Is there anything you would suggest I could investigate to solve this?

Many thanks,

Fabio.
