Good to hear.  Let us know if anything else goes wrong.

  LIBRARY_PATH

  The value of LIBRARY_PATH is a colon-separated list of directories, much
  like PATH. When configured as a native compiler, GCC tries the
  directories thus specified when searching for special linker files, if
  it can't find them using GCC_EXEC_PREFIX. Linking using GCC also uses
  these directories when searching for ordinary libraries for the -l
  option (but directories specified with -L come first).

 What command produces that error?

It was the configure command, but actually anything (except shell builtins 
provoked it).

 No, it’s literally LIBRARY_PATH.
 
 Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH may have caused non-Guix-provided programs to
 link against Guix’s libc, possibly leading to the error above.

Oh you were right.  Unsetting it fixes the problem.

What is LIBRARY_PATH ? I have never heard of that one.

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH may have caused non-Guix-provided programs to
link against Guix’s libc, possibly leading to the error above.

building guix from guix

[John Darrington]

I have been trying to follow the section in README entitled 

* Installing Guix from Guix

and have got as far as :
  - re-run the configure script passing it the option
`--with-libgcrypt-prefix=$HOME/.guix-profile/

This results in a  error: 
/bin/sh: relocation error: /home/john/.guix-profile/lib/libc.so.6: symbol 
_dl_find_dso_for_object, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file 
ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

What does this mean and how can I resolve it?

Question: the previous step says to set the variable "LIBRARY_PATH" - I presume 
this should say LD_LIBRARY_PATH - 
(I set both anyway).
