Hello,

I am trying to install Erlang v26.2.3 on my newly installed Guix System box, but I am seeing some errors when trying to install with ASDF. I have installed OpenSSL and ODBC, but they are still not showing up during the install:

āžœ  src asdf install erlang 23.2.3
asdf_23.2.3 is not a kerl-managed Erlang/OTP installation

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I got a little bit further: I tried running asdf with the following options:

CC="/home/djaouen/.guix-profile/bin/gcc -I/home/djaouen/.guix-profile/include -L/home/djaouen/.guix-profile/lib" asdf install erlang 23.2.3

And now I get the following error:

OK, I fixed this by disabling wx --without-wx and installing gcc-toolchain: guix install gcc-toolchain. Thanks!
