Practical guide to running guile goblins

Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

install guix

	sudo apt-get install guix
    guix pull

set guix profile

	GUIX_PROFILE="/home/elplatt/.config/guix/current"
	. "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"


install geiser (https://www.nongnu.org/geiser/Installation.html)

enable emacs ELPA

append to ~/.emacs:

    (require 'package)
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
	         '("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/"))
    (package-initialize)

in emacs:

		M-x eval-buffer
		M-x package-refresh-contents
		M-x package-install RET geiser-guile RET

install goblins

    guix install guile-goblins

run guile in a guix shell with goblins
(see https://gitlab.com/spritely/guile-goblins/-/blob/main/live-guile.sh for reference)

    guix shell guile guile-goblins -- guile --listen=~/goblins.sock
    
The above will start a guile REPL in the terminal and create a socket that
other processes can connect to. It may be convenient to run this in a tmux
session if you don't want to have to keep a dedicated terminal tab open.
    
in emacs

    M-x geiser-connect-local
    ~/goblins.sock
    
This will start a REPL. Code can be entered into the REPL or evaluated in a
scheme buffer with `C-e`.

If geiser hangs, the REPL can be restarted with:

    M-x geiser-reload
    
To clean up, close the original guile REPL with `C-d` and delete the socket file:

    rm ~/goblins.sock
