Are you sure you were running ~/.guix-profile/bin/sbcl? I’ve just tried this on GuixSD, to check whether sbcl systematically looks for things in /usr: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ strace -f -o ,,s $(guix build sbcl | head -1)/bin/sbcl This is SBCL 1.2.8, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>. SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty. It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the distribution for more information. * (+ 2 3) 5 * $ grep /usr ,,s [ nothing ] --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- However, it loads /etc/sbclrc. Could it be that your host distro provides such a file, which tweaks sbcl into reading from /usr/lib64? Thanks for the report, Ludo’.
