Sad.
OK, first check again that you are working with the "right" guix:
Check 'which guix' and it should be the one in ~/.config/guix/bin/guix
If not, it was somewhere in the discussion already (Excuse my brevity,
need to go soon).
If that doesn't fix, I suppose still you have the "wrong" guile,
somehwere from Ubuntu. Try this:
guix environment --pure guix
or even stronger:
guix environment -C guix
These are stronger environments, the last one even a container (that
could cause even more trouble, ah, yes, the container will cause
trouble because it cannot access the build daemon, damn.)
The --pure and -C have the feature that they will blend out everything
from your current environment. Even "normal" stuff like ls, which, etc.
But you can enrich again your environment:
guix environment --pure guix --ad-hoc coreutils findutils which
would be a good starter.
Read in manual about guix environment.
Hope this brings you a step further.
Again, sorry for brevity.
