When software is installed in a profile, Guix automatically updates the =E2=80=98dir=E2=80=99 file in that profile. Then you really have to set INFOPATH accordingly, because otherwise there=E2=80=99s no way Emacs (or even the standalone reader, I would expect) could find them. On GuixSD, INFOPATH is set to $HOME/.guix-profile/share/info:/run/current-system/profile/share/info. If you do so, C-h i will open ~/.guix-profile/share/info/dir and you=E2=80= =99ll be happy. ;-) Note that depending on how you installed Guix itself, its manual is elsewhere. That location must also be added to INFOPATH. HTH! Ludo=E2=80=99.
