I have now gone down this path, and nearly everything is working as
expected. The only problem I am tripping up with is sbcl-slime-swank
is trying to (require 'sb-cltl2) and failing, even though I have added
sbcl-trivial-cltl2 to my system configuration. It seems I am not the
only person who has tripped over this issue, although the previous
message thread [1] didn't link the problem to sbcl-slime-swank. When I
comment out the code in my configuration which adds swank, I am up and
running.
This is what I have included in my system configuration:
"stumpwm"
"sbcl-cl-ppcre"
"sbcl-trivial-cltl2"
"sbcl-alexandria"
"sbcl-clx-xembed"
"sbcl-clx-truetype"
"sbcl-stumpwm-ttf-fonts"
"sbcl-stumpwm-swm-gaps"
"sbcl-stumpwm-stumptray"
"sbcl-slime-swank"
although having looked in the source for the package definition for
stumpwm, some of these are superfluous.
Do you use sbcl-slime-swank in your configuration, and if so, did you
come across this problem with cltl2?

OK, so I have fixed this problem, following on from the hints in the
message thread linked above. I defined SBCL_HOME as an environment
variable, and pointed it at /run/current-system/profile/lib/sbcl (since
I installed sbcl and stumpwm in the system configuration). I am not sure
if the requirement to do this means there is a issue somewhere in
sbcl-slime-swank which means it doesn't find sb-cltl2 (from
sbcl-trivial-cltl2). I tried adding sbcl-trivial-cltl2 as an input, but
this didn't resolve the problem, and I don't have enough guix knowledge
yet to explore further.
