Hi there!

This very problem seems to have been encountered before[1].

If information in that thread is correct, the fix would be to make sure
both the system profile and your user profile use the same version of
glibc.

Since you said packages in your user profile are already up-to-date,
I'd try `sudo guix system reconfigure /path/to/system/config.scm`.

If this doesn't work, you might also try running LibreOffice in a pure
container, similar to how it was done with Dino in yet another
thread[2].

Good luck :)
Wojtek
