Recipes are not in the store. For instance, after doing a "make install", they are in $PREFIX/share/guile/site/2.0/. Or maybe they are in the store after a "guix pull"? I am only using the "make install" version for a system-wide installation, and a git checkout for making more recent recipes available to one user. Andreas
