Hi,

Gábor Boskovits <boskovits@gmail.com> skribis:

Right, you see this advice in $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile itself.

$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile is not honored by any shell.  One has to
specifically put the ‘source’ line above in whichever file is
appropriate (~/.bash_profile, ~/.profile, /etc/profile, etc.)

On GuixSD this happens automatically but on a foreign distro users have
to add the ‘source’ line somewhere.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
