Sad. OK, first check again that you are working with the "right" guix: Check 'which guix' and it should be the one in ~/.config/guix/bin/guix If not, it was somewhere in the discussion already (Excuse my brevity, need to go soon). If that doesn't fix, I suppose still you have the "wrong" guile, somehwere from Ubuntu. Try this: guix environment --pure guix or even stronger: guix environment -C guix These are stronger environments, the last one even a container (that could cause even more trouble, ah, yes, the container will cause trouble because it cannot access the build daemon, damn.) The --pure and -C have the feature that they will blend out everything from your current environment. Even "normal" stuff like ls, which, etc. But you can enrich again your environment: guix environment --pure guix --ad-hoc coreutils findutils which would be a good starter. Read in manual about guix environment. Hope this brings you a step further. Again, sorry for brevity. Björn
