Message-ID: <87k1yk3kwt.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <VI1P192MB0174DA61E17665603BA9C82AE39A0@VI1P192MB0174.EURP192.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> (Rosebud Uplink's message of "Thu, 24 Aug 2017 11:45:36 +0000")

Hello,

Rosebud Uplink <Uplink.Introversion@outlook.com> skribis:

> In the Guix documentation, category 2.1 (Binary Installation), step 3, the command used to augment the PATH doesn't give the wanted result.
>
>
> 3. Make root’s profile available under ~/.guix-profile:
> [...]
>
> # GUIX_PROFILE=$HOME/.guix-profile \
>   source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile
>
>
> $GUIX_PROFILE is expanded first, and the "source" command will always be expanded as:
>
> source /etc/profile

>
> Putting a semicolon between the variable definition and the "source" command resolves this problem and has the required effect.

> # GUIX_PROFILE=$HOME/.guix-profile ; source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile

This is finally fixed:
