The first step would be to figure out which file doesn't exist. If your
program was compiled for a different operating system than Guix, it's
probably missing the linker / loader.

I recommend installing strace and then doing:

`strace -f $your_program 2>&1 | tee ~/tmp/strace.log`

The strace.log should help you learn what is missing.
