After the reinstall from MELPA, it appears to me that the guix popup works as expected. :-) Note that the popup does work properly with emacs-guix, since the letter p is binded twice (processes and package). I guess that the next release (available in MELPA) will fix this. > > Last, 'guix package -s gmsh' returns the package that I am looking for. > > However, `M-x guix p n gmsh' does not. > > I need to do 'guix package -i guix' to find gmsh with emacs-guix.

And these missing guile modules should be packed to e.g. guix-minimal. What do you think? Thank you again. All the best, simon
