Emacs, distro with guix as package manager and guix.d
Hi, The documentation claims that emacs installed by guix "knows" where the site packages, including the guix.d installed packages are found. But, this seems not to be the case, at least for one of my setups. I have multiple profiles, one of them reserved for emacs. Among the packages in that profile, there is only a single one in site-lisp/guix.d . This is the *ess* package. This is also a single package that does not load properly. The EMACSLOADPATH variable contains .../share/emacs/site-lisp and .../share/emacs/26.3/lisp paths, where ... is the profile path. I do not see any mention of guix.d there, but then, maybe it is not supposed to be there. On another computer, also with hybrid distro, I have exactly the same profile setup, but ess works. The EMACSLOADPATH seems to have been built up in an analogous fashion, again no mention of guix.d. Does anyone have any hints as to why ess might not get properly loaded, or what should I look for? The only difference I can currently think of is that in the former case (the setup that does not work), I start emacs from the command line, and in the latter as a deamon, so there might be something wrong with the environment. Cheers, Todor PS Great talks last Sunday ;-). Sorry I did not say hello to more of you, but had to catch the train back home.

Yes, this would need to be updated. -- Ricardo

If I recall correctly, a number of packages had to be updated after the transition to the new build system. I suppose that emacs-ess was left aside. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

emacs-ess build ESS version 17.11 which is significantly out-of-date as well. The latest release is 18.10. Pierre Neidhardt writes: > If I recall correctly, a number of packages had to be updated after the > transition to the new build system. I suppose that emacs-ess was left aside.

On my guix (d441a6455051d70d7ff0d951c7e68318499b1739), a quick search (guix\\.d[^a-z]) using the silver-searcher reveals several additional packages and documentation makes references to these directories including several emacs packages as well as: cedille in gnu/packages/cedille uim in gnu/packages/xorg ghc-hindent in gnu/packages/haskell-xyz Ricardo Wurmus writes: > Jelle Licht writes: > >> Ricardo Wurmus writes: >> >>> >>> The guix.d directory has been removed.
