Help needed: Unable to run Guix after installation

[Aakanksha Jain]

I have completed the GNU Guix installation using this script
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/etc/guix-install.sh

But while trying to run hello package, I get following error(image attached)

Someone on irc suggested installing nscd package. But its still not working.

What can be the resolve for this?

Hello could you please check if the group guixbuild really exists?

The script should have created this group, but maybe there has been an
error? Did you see any error messages while running the script?

Either way, this group needs to be created – and the build users that
are assigned to this group.

If you want to do this manually, please take a look at these
instructions:

The error message is this:

guix package: error: build failed: the group `guixbuild' specificed in
`build-users-group' does not exist

What operating system are you using? I had the same problem on Debian.

How did you install the nscd package?

I think it is another case of <https://bugs.gnu.org/30298>. The
workaround is to install and use nscd, or to edit '/etc/nsswitch.conf',
as described here:
