In my ~/.bash_profile, there is '. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"' and I do not have any issue on a foreign distro. > 2) Not all packages I use in emacs are packaged up in guix (yet).

And you could give a try with "guix import elpa -r". It should work with MELPA too. Please could you report which packages do not work properly for you? > some of the packages.

My personal experience about mixing Emacs packages from Guix and from package.el is really poor; it always breaks on one way or another. Therefore, I switched to all Emacs packages from Guix.
