When software is installed in a profile, Guix automatically updates the ‘dir’ file in that profile. Then you really have to set INFOPATH accordingly, because otherwise there’s no way Emacs (or even the standalone reader, I would expect) could find them. On GuixSD, INFOPATH is set to $HOME/.guix-profile/share/info:/run/current-system/profile/share/info. If you do so, C-h i will open ~/.guix-profile/share/info/dir and you’ll be happy. ;-) Note that depending on how you installed Guix itself, its manual is elsewhere. That location must also be added to INFOPATH. HTH! Ludo’.
