I have tried lots of things today, not successfully.

with guix environment guix, I get the same output that I get without
using guix environment (I mean, it uses the installed guix that I tend
to use generally)
the output of which guix in both cases is:
/home/laura/.config/guix/current/bin/guix

with guix environment --pure guix --ad-hoc coreutils findutils which (or -C)
I get, the output:
Command 'lesspipe' is available in the following places
 * /bin/lesspipe
 * /usr/bin/lesspipe
The command could not be located because '/bin:/usr/bin' is not
included in the PATH environment variable.
lesspipe: command not found
There, I run which guix and get:
which: no guix in
(/gnu/store/khk3lpx1li9y5zxzdppn9wi4n5g1qsgs-profile/bin:/gnu/store/khk3lpx1li9y5zxzdppn9wi4n5g1qsgs-profile/sbin)

The closest I got was by setting:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/:/bin
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
And since I still got the issue with guile, I went to
/usr/bin/
and created a symlink
sudo ln -s /gnu/store/p9wm67w3rfw3hlb9iljgvsfn84mz4w9d-guile-2.2.4 guile-2.2.4
(setting guile-2.2 that whas already there to a hidden file)
 Then the ./configure --localstatedir=/var
Worked fine, as well as the make (echo $? of both 0)
There, the result of which guix is:
/usr/local/bin/guix
( a symlink to -> /var/guix/profiles/per-user/root/guix-profile/bin/guix)
I could run the ./pre-inst-env guix package -i hello, took a while but worked.
Complained about having to do:
export PATH="/home/laura/.guix-profile/bin${PATH:+:}$PATH"
Did so.
And finally I appended my r-aspi definition to cran.scm
However, everything went wrong when trying to run: (sorry, the output
is long and I also get the same output with ./pre-inst-env lint
r-aspi)
./pre-inst-env guix build r-aspi
