Hi Gottfried,

Most immediately, I think you can just use 'guix install gs'. A list of
installed packages may be available via
guix package --list-installed'
The functional way, however, is to "declare" your packages in a file.
For system packages, that's the system configuration. The same idea
works for your personal packages; i's called a "home" configuration.
Here, the word "home" refers to your home folder.

The only way I know is `which gs` and then follow the symbolic links.
Kind regards
Felix
P.S. The symbolic links make Guix special among Linux distributions. If
you understand how they work, you are a Guix expert!
P.P.S. Use "C-h R" in Emacs and use 'i' to search in the 'guix' manual.
It helps to have Vertico installed, or something comparable.
