I agree that ‘guix environment’ is usually the preferred approach. Yet, I thought it may be better to keep the other approach working out of the box by default, to avoid unnecessary user frustration. Thinking more, there are a number of other search path environment variables that would be candidate for /etc/profile: GUILE_LOAD_PATH, PKG_CONFIG_PATH, MANPATH, PERL5LIB, etc. But perhaps some of them are better left handled by the user? How would we draw the line between those that /etc/profile defines by default, and those that users have to define by themselves? Thanks, Ludo’.
