Hi,
I don't have a good fix, but a couple suggestions for a workaround.

1. To verify paths you can check 'echo $GUILE_LOAD_PATH' and 'echo
$GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH' from cli, and from guile REPL you can check
for example (display %load-path). If necessary you can add a statement
in bash like:

   export GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/root/.guix-profile/include${GUILE_LOAD_PATH:+:}$GUILE_LOAD_PATH

and rerun your script.

2. Secondly, you can look up the guile install directory, to check for
the folder where you can find the ice-9 directory. If the ice-9 dir is
located in ~/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0 and there's a readline
file inside, you can start guile with guile -L
~/.guix-profile/share/guile/site/2.0 myscript.scm.

Im also having issues with guile when running guix as a stand-alone
package manager while it works fine with GuixSD but that's possibly
unrelated.
