It is.

guix-load-path is a variable defined in `guix-backend.el'.
Its value is "~/src/gnu/guix/emacs"

guix-helper-file is a variable defined in `guix-backend.el'.
Its value is "/home/mthl/src/gnu/guix/emacs/guix-helper.scm"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
These two variables helped me figure out that the problem was the use of
“~” in:
(let ((dir "~/src/gnu/guix/emacs"))
...
When changing it with “/home/mthl” it works! To avoid this kind of
mistake in the future, a simple fix would be to change the example in
the documentation, with:
(let ((dir "/absolute/path/to/your-guix-git-tree/emacs"))
...
But is there a way to change the implementation to let users use
relative path?
Thanks,
