I'm trying to install emacs on GuixSD, which is running on a Thinkpad 
X200.

This command just displays help text?

I don't know. I tried using guix substitute --substitute but I'm having 
trouble identifying what the other two arguments should be.

It seems to have succeeded:

@ build-succeeded 
/gnu/store/p5bhpqf6zj1kg55p4gyndrppswbskh8k-emacs-24.5.drv -
/gnu/store/35nvlacqcl3wv5al5lj3077h0hx4bn2q-emacs-24.5

After doing this, I tried doing "guix package -i emacs" again, and it 
installed successfully! Thank you for your help; unfortunately I don't 
know exactly what fixed this but I'd be happy to continue debugging if 
it's of use to someone.
