Calling the binary from the other user profile directly should work: /var/guix/profiles/per-user/rodrigo/current-guix/bin/guix build SOMEPACKAGE Or alternately looking at the store item that that user's profile points to and using it even more directly: ls -l /var/guix/profiles/per-user/rodrigo/current-guix /gnu/store/.../bin/guix build SOMEPACKAGE You might be able to manually register that same store item as your user's "current-guix" profile too by symlinking the correct things... though I am less sure of how to do that correctly off the top of my head. live well, vagrant
