@mbcladwell I can't reproduce this behavior it seems the environment is somewhat messed up.
7888 default port is provided by an old ares version.
Check `which guile` you are running, what is in your GUILE_LOAD_PATH, what version of guile `guile --version`.

It must always be a random port.
If your arei don't pick up a port from .nrepl-port it's maybe because you arei version doesn't support it (guix has old arei), you can C-u C-c C-s C-s to connect with custom port.
@abcdw
I am using guix provided ares/arei
As long as I specify port 7888 (or use one line commands) everything seems to work wrt evaluation so good enough for playing with and evaluating.
Thanks
