was the "latest" guix compiled with an old guile ?

I also get:

How do I know which one is the one produced by the last reconfiguration ?

This means the code in ~/.config/guix/latest (which is populated by
‘guix pull’) comes from Guile 2.0, whereas the ‘guix’ command runs on
Guile 2.2.

Running ‘guix pull’ as user ‘catonano’ should solve the problem.

HTH!

Hmm, could you run “rm ~/.config/guix/latest”?

I could. But then, without a working guix, how would I reinstate it ?

Anyway, I linked .config/guix/latest to a local checkked out master branch
I had

It seems to work

Ricardo made me aware that I could run "guix pull" from within any checked
out guix and that would reset the .coni/guix/latest  to point to a guix
subjected to the "guix pull" command

So it seems this is solved

I believe that these tricks related to .config/guix/latest  should be
discussed, to some extent, in the manual

It's not just a configuration matter
It's about the substantial day to day use

I will open a new thread for this

In the meantime: thank you
