Ouch, this is a bug! Sorry and thank you for the report! It should be fixed by the latest commit: https://notabug.org/alezost/emacs-guix/commit/d7b54784bc3962570519aac472f54598c10299ae So you may try to reinstall it from MELPA to check if it works now. BTW installing from MELPA should be as fine, as from Guix. As far as I understand, the problems you faced are not related to the way you install Emacs-Guix. > Last, 'guix package -s gmsh' returns the package that I am looking for. > However, `M-x guix p n gmsh' does not. > I need to do 'guix package -i guix' to find gmsh with emacs-guix. Hum? Yes, this is a big problem on non-GuixSD systems. In short, "guix pull" does not install its guile dependencies in the pulled profile. Instead they are hardcoded in "~/.config/guix/current/bin/guix", so Emacs-Guix can't use these modules and this leads to unexpected errors. The only workaround is to install "guix" in a user profile: this will automatically "propagate" (install) all the missing Guile dependencies. People usually don't face this problem on GuixSD because "guix" (thus, all its propagated dependencies) is installed in a system profile there. I don't see a way to fix this problem on the Emacs-Guix side. For more details, you may look at the discussion at <https://github.com/alezost/guix.el/issues/28>. -- Alex
