If you prefer to use the Guix API from Guile, you could use something
like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (guix derivations)
(guix gexp)
(guix store)
(gnu packages base))
(let* ((hello-drv (with-store store
(run-with-store store (lower-object hello))))
(hello-store-path (derivation->output-path hello-drv)))
(format #t "~a~%" hello-store-path)
hello-store-path)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
HTH!
