I also had issues with Guix, so I start Emacs using a little script I
have in ~/.local/bin with these contents

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#!/bin/sh
exec EMACSLOADPATH="" ~/Source/emacs/src/emacs "$@"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And everything works just fine.
