<mooseball>hey guilers, i have an issue where geiser cannot see my guile's locale, which is set by doing "export GUIX_LOCPATH=$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/locale" after installing locales for guix. i have tried putting the line in .bashrc, .profile, and also just calling it in emacs. guile in the terminal has the right locale set, but geiser doesn't. has anyone perhaps solved this before? <mooseball>for geiser's guile-binary and guile-load-path i got around this by setting variables in emacs, but geiser has no variable for locales... <mooseball>the error i have is the dreaded "guile: warning: failed to install locale / warning: failed to install locale: Invalid argument" <mooseball>ah, i think it's sorted now, ~/.xsessionrc to the rescue
