IIUC the REPL is dead, so what can be done is sending the full contents
of *Guix REPL* buffer here so we could look at it.

No need to fiddle with ‘geiser-scheme-dir’: it should be set properly if
you have ‘(require 'geiser-install)’ in your emacs config.

Also you made a commit for ‘geiser-guile-load-path’ (a1ca1b7) after the
release, so fiddling with this var will not take any effect.

David wrote on #guix that he has "~/.guile" file with some additional
settings.  AFAICT it is loaded only if ‘geiser-guile-load-init-file-p’
was set to a non-nil value.
