Webkit GTK Error

[objet-a]

Hi, thank you for making Nomad! I'm so excited to try it and start contributing, I'm already a schemer and use Nyxt but I the idea of a hackable browser in Scheme is a dream come true. I'm interested in making a Gemini client for it, if noone has already done this.

Unfortunately I can't get it to load any website. I open the app and type in the URL, only to arrive at a blank buffer that merely says "Web GTK has encountered and issue". I'm on Guix System and installed from the package manager. Below is the error from the terminal, i've tried pulling the dependencies but it seems i have them. Could it be that I'm on guile 3?

Hello @blakeshaw thank you for trying Nomad. Nomad does not support guile 3 at this time however if you are using guix it should still work. try testing with

guix environment --ad-hoc nomad -- nomad -Q

if that does not work can you paste the output of

guix show nomad g-golf

Thanks for the prompt response. unfortunately, for guix environment --ad-hoc nomad -- nomad -Q i get:

Hello, does not look like a Nomad or guile issue. I think this might be a profile issue. make sure you upgrade your guix packages with

guix upgrade

After that make sure your profile is not polluted by restarting your login session. If you are using GNOME just log out and back in. There is a better way to do this but I forget the exact way. I you are using something other than GNOME then use whatever method it uses to logout and back in. Worst case restart your computer if you are unsure. after that try again.
