I had a similar experience: I installed gnutls manually in /usr/local and successfully compiled Guix. However, for various reasons, I then wanted to recompile Guix with Guix (and remove the manually installed gnutls and Debian Guile) and that's where I was struggling to make things work. I fixed things as in my reply to Alex Kost. Thanks for your reply. Fede
