Yes, at first you need to "unset EMACSLOADPATH" to prevent Emacs from loading "/run/current-system/profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/guix-emacs.el" (it is required by "guix-init" which is in turn required by "/etc/emacs/site-start.el"). Then you need to configure Emacs interface from git checkout as described in the manual (info "(guix) Emacs Initial Setup"), like this: (let ((dir "~/src/guix/emacs")) (add-to-list 'load-path dir) (setq guix-load-path dir) (require 'guix-init nil t)) A side note: 'guix-init' is a wrapper which is used to perform 2 tasks: 1. To load autoloads for guix commands, so that you can run any "M-x guix-…" command without requiring all these "guix-….el" modules. 2. To find and autoload Emacs packages installed with Guix in a user profile (and now [thanks to you] in a system profile as well). Not so long ago¹ our Emacs package was "patched" to take care of the second task, so technically there is no need in "guix-init" anymore. It will be removed soon (or maybe stayed for some time for backward compatibility), and instead 'guix-autoloads' should be required to configure various Emacs modes for Guix. ↑ (It was a draft of announce about the future change) ↑ ¹ http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=13fe4891fa247d306e203ee14c6886513bd86b52 -- Alex
