I have folloed the instruction in
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/guix.html#Emacs-Interface
to get the emacs interface for guix, but there is something missing
probably.

Installation of emacs and geiser was OK, I changed the path to guix.el
(there is no /usr/share/ in my guix installation, I had to find guix.el
in the /gnu/store), after that I can start emacs and "M-x guix-..." but
every action says "Cannot open load file: no such file or directory
geiser-mode".

If you mean you did (add-to-list 'load-path "/gnu/store/..."), then it's
definitely not right.

There should probably be also the geiser path in the emacs init file or
something?

I assume you use a Guix (or GNU or whatever it should be called)
system.  I must admit I have not tried it yet, and all I know about
setting "guix.el" there I learnt from a chat with davexunit on #guix
today.

So I think the following should be added to your emacs config:

- Add dirs with "guix.el" and "geiser" to load-path (I'm absolutely
 not sure about the correctness of the paths, so double check please):

 (add-to-list 'load-path "/run/current-system/profile/share/emacs/site-lisp/")
 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp")

- Initial setup of geiser:

 (require 'geiser-install)

- Initial setup of guix:

 (require 'guix-init)

Right, I am testing it under GNU system (USB installed image with guix 0.8). Thanks for the point regarding geiser. This is now my ~/.emacs

(add-to-list 'load-path "/gnu/store/ysh4fvnxr0p8xrphcikivpafgvf6g18m-guix-0.8/share/emacs/site-lisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.guix-profile/share/emacs/site-lisp")
(require 'geiser-install)
(require 'guix-init)

Reason for the /gnu/store path is, that guix.el is a part of guix and I did not found it in any profile. I've added my profile path, where the geiser is (as it is installed by this user), but the /run/current-system has no share/emacs at all. I do not know why.

While I got further, it is still somewhat confused as invoking guix-all-available-packages results in error in process sentinel: Text is read-only
No prompt found!
