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.
Carlo
