Good point. That took me a bit further. I needed to do

  export ACLOCAL_PATH="/home/cog/pprins/.nix-profile/share/aclocal"
  export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/pkgconfig"
  ./bootstrap
  ./configure --with-libgcrypt-prefix=/nix/store/gic3zisxrq8vir427366l51l0dyzg5ls-libgcrypt-1.5.3
  
almost there. Only this trips me up:

  checking for BZ2_bzWriteOpen in -lbz2... no
  configure: error: Guix requires libbz2, which is part of bzip2. See http://www.bzip.org/.

weird because 

  ls ~/.nix-profile/lib

contains

  gettext               libgcrypt.so.11.8.2      libguile-2.0.so.22.7.0

It is not finding it. Adding the path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not
help, nor adding the search path to /etc/ld.so.conf. You can see
libgcrypt needed an override.

What am I missing?
