Perhaps. FWIW, I am using Guix on a foreign distribution (openSUSE Tumbleweed) and am able to view the info page for recutils from within Emacs (29.3). In my case the info page is installed under "${GUIX_PROFILE}/share/info" and that directory gets added (via the INFOPATH variable) and is present within Info-directory-list . -- Suhail ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

Info-additional-directory-list is nil. Info-default-directory-list is nil. Info-directory-list has a number of entries, but of relevance here is the fact that it has an entry corresponding to "${HOME}/.guix-profile/share/info" which is where recutils' Info document gets installed. -- Suhail ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I have set the INFOPATH so that it points -- among others -- to the path of my current profile which is the canonical `.config/guix/current/share/info`. However, this directory seems to not be correctly populated, for it is missing at least the entry of the `recutils` package which I have installed via the Guix package manager. Confusingly, Emacs doesn't find the recutils info manual (nor the manpages), but invoking `info recutils` from the command line yields the documentation -- despite $INFOPATH being identical in both cases and `~/.config/guix/current/share/info` being part of `Info-directory-list`. Am I doing something wrong, do I have to do something in particular, or is there a misunderstanding on my side as to how the subdirectories of my current profile are supposed to behave? Have a good day :) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

[...] I don't know if it's the source of your problems, but that's the location of the profile for Guix itself, not for your user packages. That is: when you `guix pull` it builds a new Guix profile containing Guix itself, and installs a symlink in ~/.config/guix/current which points to that profile. When you run `guix install recutils` it installs to a different profile which you can find at ~/.guix-profile (as a symlink). When you use Guix Home, which I assume you aren't using, but I'm mentioning just in case, the profile is at ~/.guix-home/profile (again as a symlink). In my config, I add all three of these to INFOPATH and things seem to work properly. I think this may happen if you source the etc/profile file in each of those profiles, but my config explicitly sets INFOPATH as well, for some reason. I've attached the code that I source in ~/.profile on my machines to set up Guix. I believe some of this is now included in the system-wide script the installer installs to /etc/profile.d/zzz-guix.sh, but my config predates that and I haven't been bothered to change it.
