Hi Tomás,
I'm not certain what your problem is, but I've run into problems
with XDG_DATA_DIRS in the past, and I've added these lines in my
profile script *before* sourcing any Guix profiles:
# XDG_DATA_DIRS often starts off empty, but an empty value is
# interpreted as this value. Loading a profile can set it,
though,
# which effectively ignores the default value. We want it to
# instead add to the default, so we set it here to the default
# value.
if [ -z "$XDG_DATA_DIRS" ]; then
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/"
fi
I see you have this line in your profile script:
export
XDG_DATA_DIRS="$GUIX_PROFILE/share:${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/}"
but you call this *after* sourcing the Guix profiles, which means
if Guix sets XDG_DATA_DIRS then the fallback case (i.e. including
/usr/local/share and /usr/share) won't have any effect, and the
default paths (which Ubuntu expects) won't end up in the path.
I'm not as familiar with GI_TYPELIB_PATH, but I think it might
need something similar with a default value of
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0 (that's mostly a guess, based on a quick
search of the internet and my local Ubuntu machine).
I hope that helps!
Carlo
