Hello there.
I ran in bash shell:
pwd
--> /home/vits
conf=~/guix/configuration/configuration.scm
ls $conf # file exists
--> ~/guix/configuration/configuration.scm
guix system build $conf
--> guix system: error: failed to load
'/home/vits/guix/configuration/configuration.scm': No such file or directory
The commands above will result in a successfull build if i
`cd guix/configuration` before doing `guix system build`
(both with rel. and abs. names).
Attached is WORKING config.scm. Error was caused by local-file()
used with _relative_ paths. Those were commented out, and this
config.scm works from any directory.
#guix:

Better of course if the offending file will be print out:
"failed to load (...) /home/vits/auto-login: no such file or directory"

Thanks for attention, Vitaliy.
