Hi,
I installed texlive package per package (not using the "texlive")
package.  I end up not being able to launch any of pdflatex, lualatex
nor xelatex, as I obtain

Can't locate mktexlsr.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /gnu/store/tlpkg /gnu/store/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive /home/gabriel/.
guix-profile/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/ /gnu/store/dna8kpb00kq176rz8x69yy4j33my2q55-perl-5.28.0/lib/perl5/site_p

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/gabriel/.guix-profile/bin/mktexfmt line 25.
I can't find the format file `lualatex.fmt'!

The content '/gnu/store/{tlpkg,texmf-dist}' look suspicious.  Inspecting
mktexfmt, we learn that those paths are returned by 'kpsewhich
-var-value=TEXMFROOT'.  How can we change the path returned by
kpsewhich?

Cheers,
Gabriel

Can you tell us what packages you installed?

Hi Ricardo,

Sure, from a manifest:

    "texlive-latex-base"
    "texlive-latex-xcolor"
    "texlive-latex-wrapfig"
    "texlive-latex-titlesec"
    "texlive-latex-tools"
    "texlive-latex-tabulary"
    "texlive-latex-subfigure"
    "texlive-latex-polyglossia"
    "texlive-latex-pgf"
    "texlive-latex-pdfx"
    "texlive-latex-pdfpages"
    "texlive-latex-natbib"
    "texlive-latex-multirow"
    "texlive-latex-listings"
    "texlive-latex-hyperref"
    "texlive-latex-graphics"
    "texlive-latex-geometry"
    "texlive-latex-fontspec"
    "texlive-latex-fncychap"
    "texlive-latex-float"
    "texlive-latex-fancyhdr"
    "texlive-latex-doi"
    "texlive-latex-colortbl"
    "texlive-latex-beamer"
    "texlive-latex-babel"
    "texlive-latex-appendix"
    "texlive-latex-amsmath"
    "texlive-latex-amsfonts"
    "texlive-latex-acronym"
    "texlive-generic-ulem"
    "texlive-generic-pdftex"
    "texlive-generic-hyph-utf8"
    "texlive-generic-babel-english"
    "texlive-dvips"
    "texlive-context-base"
    "texlive-bin"
    "texlive-bibtex"
    "texlive-base"

plus some 'texlive-fonts-'.

I'm don't know much about texlive file architecture, but it seems that
it is the mktexlsr command that set the path of 'kpsewhich'.  If I
perform a 'guix package -m the-manifest.scm', the path seems well set,
but I don't have the 'mktexlsr.pl' file anymore in my profile (it exists
in
/gnu/store/[...]-texlive-texmf-20180414/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/mktexlsr.pl
though).  If I run 'mktexlsr', the path returned by kpsewhich becomes
/gnu/store.  I hope that helps somehow.

This has probably been solved for a while, closing.
