Error running Guile from Guix

Error running Guile from Guix

Hello Guile developers!

Today I ran into a problem simply trying to run `guile`.

I have installed Guile in a guix profile:

~~~~
$ guix describe --format=channels
(list (channel
         (name 'guix)
         (url"https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git")
         (branch "master")
         (commit
           "4473f8ae902c2192cab6919363a9101ce9861e45")
         (introduction
           (make-channel-introduction
             "9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad"
             (openpgp-fingerprint
               "BBB0 2DDF 2CEA F6A8 0D1D  E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA")))))

$ command -v guile
/home/user/.guix-profile/bin/guile

Sorry, instead of clicking the formatting button, I accidentally clicked "send" 
prematurely. Continuing below.

Now, the actual issue:

Do you know what is going wrong?

Seems to me like it is missing some dependency, the readline library.

But I don't know why it would suddenly be missing and not before.

Best regards,
Zelphir

Hi Zelphir,

It has libreadline.so.8, the Guile bindings, and the C library.  This is
not a case of a missing library.  It rather looks like Guile and Guile
Readline / Readline were linked with different versions of the C
library.

Note the absolute file name of the glibc directory (2.35) and the
expected versioned symbol GLIBC_2.38.  This looks like libreadline.so.8
was linked with a more recent glibc and now finds itself yoked together
with a binary that has already loaded an older glibc.
