Hi, after installing texlive-bin I get the following error: 

Error: I can't find the format file pdflatex.fmt

This SO says to do the following

sudo texconfig rehash

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/64894/error-i-cant-find-the-format-file-pdflatex-fmt

Which sound like it might be the solution but Guix says:

mktexlsr: /home/jgart/.guix-profile/share/texmf-dist/../texmf-dist: directory not writable. Skipping...

What should I do?

Hi jgart, 

After using LaTeX recently too, I think you don't need texlive-bin, but
rather texlive-base.  You can use the example in the manual to
bootstrap.

Best,
