I always recommend avoid such "hard" requiring, it is better to use (require 'foo nil t) instead. With (require 'foo), your emacs config will be really fragile: once 'foo' feature will disappear (renamed or 'foo' package will be uninstalled, etc.), Emacs will fail loading your config! So I would use (require 'guix-autoloads nil t) instead. > (guix-prettify-global-mode) For the same reason, I never call functions from external packages in my emacs config: what if this function disappear one day? (I don't mean I'm going to remove it). If I need to load something on Emacs start, I add it to 'after-init-hook'. If it is going to fail, at least it will fail after your config will be fully loaded. > (setq-default guix-current-profile > (file-chase-links "~/.guix-profile" 1)) Hm, I don't think this is needed. Doesn't Emacs-Guix work with the default 'guix-current-profile' setting? > (require 'guix-build-config) > (let ((guix-src-dir (expand-file-name "~/scm/guix/"))) > (setq-default guix-config-image-directory guix-src-dir) > (setq-default guix-config-guix-scheme-compiled-directory guix-src-dir)) I have never had a need to set these variables. Setting image directory is definitely not needed (if the default value doesn't work for you, it's a bug). As for the directory with Guix compiled files, although you can set it, it is not really intended for customizing. Do you have "~/.config/guix/latest" point to "~/scm/guix"? Or do you add "~/scm/guix" to GUILE_LOAD_PATH and GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH? Or do you add it to 'geiser-guile-load-path'? If anything of this is true, then you don't need to set that variable. -- Alex
