Do you have an alternative suggestion so that running guix easily in bash is possible? Per my current blogpost, this alias is only set up after running guix-enable.

I originally had some different settings but I found that the right things did not seem to be on the path from the guile being launched. Originally I set environment variables from within emacs (yikes!) so using the pre-install-env version was a simplification. Does anyone have an alternative .emacs setup they've tested without a "make install" that they know works?
