After some poking around, I found the issue; it's the following in the
guix-0.12.0 recipe:
(wrap-program (string-append out "/bin/guix")
`("GUILE_LOAD_PATH" ":" prefix (,path))
`("GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH" ":" = (,path)))
As you see, it sets GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH to an absolute value rather
than prefixing it. So whenever I execute 'guix package ...' from the
shell, the installed wrapper overrides my correct value of
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH with something insufficient.
FWIW, it overrides it with the following (split for readability):
"/gnu/store/f4pw2jr2ial53awa34rjj3wb4b4k3nag-guile-json-0.6.0/share/guile/site/2.0:
/gnu/store/y9k9l62cf8hhr5m3np3756swrbxws0dl-guile-ssh-0.10.2/share/guile/site/2.0:
/gnu/store/iyvx2rpyndi3k7dzbl4jnv7k6ddkx88a-gnutls-3.5.8/share/guile/site/2.0"
Should the 'wrap-program' call simply use 'prefix' instead of '='? I'm
not sure if there's a reason it uses '='.
