The same for me (Arch Linux as well). Unhappily, as you can see at <https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/gnutls> gnutls is built without guile support (./configure … --disable-guile). Thus gnutls from Arch Linux wouldn't work; so I installed gnutls using guix and augmented guile paths with: /home/<user>/.guix-profile/share/guile/site With this guile can find (gnutls) module and the error disappears.

Yes, I installed gnutls, but it didn't work because I didn't set the right guile paths: “guix package --search-paths” recommends "/usr/local/var/guix/profiles/per-user/<user>/guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0" but "gnutls.scm" is actually placed in "/usr/local/var/guix/profiles/per-user/<user>/guix-profile/share/guile/site" so ‘(use-modules (gnutls))’ failed for me. Perhaps “guix package --search-paths” should be adjusted to recommend the following (?): export GUILE_LOAD_PATH="<path/to/guix-profile>/share/guile/site/2.0:<path/to/guix-profile>/share/guile/site" export GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH="<path/to/guix-profile>/share/guile/site/2.0:<path/to/guix-profile>/share/guile/site" -- Alex
