Did you check the right path? It's
"/run/current-system/profile/share/emacs...", not
"/run/current-system/share/emacs/..."

Thanks Adam and David for reporting. You encouraged me to install the
system (at last). So the problem was that a default directory with guix
scheme files was not added to the %load-path (it is fixed with commit
cbbc877). As a workaround you may perform "guix pull" – after that the
REPL should start without errors.
So to recap, to make "guix.el" work in the current system one should do
the following:
1. "guix pull" to populate "~/.config/guix/latest" (this step will not
be required for the future releases)
2. Install geiser: "guix package -i geiser"
3. Setup geiser (hopefully this step will not be required soon)
Put in your emacs config:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp")
(require 'geiser-install)
4. Setup "guix.el". Put in your emacs config:
(add-to-list 'load-path "<path-to-a-directory-with-guix.el>")
(require 'guix-init)
I appreciate if someone confirm that the above works (or doesn't work :-)).
