I also had some failed attempts at installing the AUR version but I don't know if that affected the later version that I installed straight from the offical script.

It sounds like ~/.config/guix/current/bin is missing from PATH.  See
'4.6 Invoking guix pull' in the manual.

Make sure that directory appears first in $PATH in order to get the
correct 'guix' executable.
