The profile is created automatically the first time “guix package -i” is run. This happens reliably for me on Fedora, CentOS, and on GuixSD. If this doesn’t happen Gentoo I suspect the Gentoo package to be defective (e.g. setting invalid permissions on certain directories). >> I've >> even tried to track down where a profile might exist within /gnu/store, but >> "ls /gnu/store/*profile*" responds with: This is not important. Anything Guix creates will be in the store. This includes all profile generations. I suggest installing Guix using the official binary package.
