Andreas,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I have tried what you suggested but It
still doesn't work.

These are the packages installed:

$ guix package -I | grep tex
texlive 20180414 out 
/gnu/store/wlba9v03ypi0z5qz7p89sa0w12lh37zb-texlive-20180414
texlive-bin 20180414 out 
/gnu/store/znf7mmx3vslsscn9v3ilxmgkirqwswy8-texlive-bin-20180414
texlive-base 49435 out 
/gnu/store/5qg546zydvcjcqvbf7d49yg4iq7yhn9d-texlive-base-49435

These are the directories I have put my-class.cls in:

$ tree ~/.texlive2018
/home/myles/.texlive2018
└── texmf-var
    ├── tex
    │   ├── latex
    │   │   ├── my-class.cls
    │   │   └── mypkg
    │   │       └── my-class.cls
    │   └── xelatex
    │       ├── my-class.cls
    │       └── mypkg
    │           └── my-class.cls
    └── web2c
        └── xetex
            ├── xelatex.fmt
            └── xelatex.log

Here are the relevant environment variables:

$ env | grep TEX                        
TEXMF=/home/myles/.guix-profile/share/texmf-dist
TEXMFCNF=/home/myles/.guix-profile/share/texmf-dist/web2c

But still the class isn't found:

$ xelatex a         
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99999 (TeX Live 2018) (preloaded 
format=xelatex)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
entering extended mode
(./a.tex
LaTeX2e <2018-04-01> patch level 2

! LaTeX Error: File `my-class.cls' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: cls)

Enter file name: X

Is there anything else I can try?
