Hello
I just stumbled on the same trouble myself.
I solved it by defining:
export TEXMFROOT=~/.guix-profile/share/
Here is the path I followed, for the curious one:
The error came from mktexfmt that did not find mktexlsr.pl: extract from
the beginning of the file:
$TEXMFROOT = `kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFROOT`;
if ($?) {
die "$0: kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFROOT failed, aborting early.\n";
}
chomp($TEXMFROOT);
unshift(@INC, "$TEXMFROOT/tlpkg",
"$TEXMFROOT/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive"); <- require use this
require "mktexlsr.pl"; <- HERE COME THE ERROR
It uses kpsewhich to determine TEXMFROOT, then TEXMFROOT do search for
mktexlsr.pl
By default:
$ kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFROOT
/gnu/store/yyja7azsicyf76b2vkki53bci6caqim9-texlive-configuration/share
I found thar mktexlsr.pl is in my profile:
# my profile is given by:
$ readlink -f ~/.guix-profile
/gnu/store/bp3j1n9r0r52rkbdcjkf3k4gakmg3216-profile
$ find `readlink -f ~/.guix-profile` -name mktexlsr.pl
/gnu/store/bp3j1n9r0r52rkbdcjkf3k4gakmg3216-profile/share/texmf-dist/scripts/texlive/mktexlsr.pl
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ : this should
be TEXMFROOT
I don't know if this can be done automagically or not.
Hope this helps
Pierre

Hi Quiliro,
Emacs is capable of exporting to PDF by the use of pdflatex. This
program is available in Trisquel and PureOS (as a Debian inheritance) by
way of the 'texlive-latex-base' package. With Guix, even after
installing 'texlive-base' package (which depends on
'texlive-latex-base'), Emacs would give the error of missing 'pdflatex'
when exporting to PDF. The only solution to exporting to PDF on Emacs on
a foreign distro is to install 'texlive-latex-base' via 'sudo apt
install'. On GSD (Guix System Distribution) it is impossible to export
to PDF on Emacs.
“pdflatex” is provided by “texlive-bin”.
Installed texlive-bin and texlive-base with fairly new guix:
$ guix --version
guix (GNU Guix) 9d58e8819fdbc4c1c8a1ef6149e2d2376731a6a6
But I stil cannot export to PDF via Emacs:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.19 (TeX Live 2018)
(preloaded format=pdflatex)
restricted \write18 enabled.

I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'!
I have yet to write a section in the manual to explain how LaTeX on Guix
systems works. And maybe texlive-base ought to include texlive-bin.
