building guix from guix

I have been trying to follow the section in README entitled 

* Installing Guix from Guix

and have got as far as :
  - re-run the configure script passing it the option
    `--with-libgcrypt-prefix=$HOME/.guix-profile/

This results in a  error: 
/bin/sh: relocation error: /home/john/.guix-profile/lib/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_find_dso_for_object, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference

What does this mean and how can I resolve it?

Question: the previous step says to set the variable "LIBRARY_PATH" - I presume this should say LD_LIBRARY_PATH - 
(I set both anyway).

What command produces that error?

No, it’s literally LIBRARY_PATH.

Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH may have caused non-Guix-provided programs to
link against Guix’s libc, possibly leading to the error above.

It was the configure command, but actually anything (except shell builtins provoked it).

Oh you were right.  Unsetting it fixes the problem.

What is LIBRARY_PATH ? I have never heard of that one.

  LIBRARY_PATH

  The value of LIBRARY_PATH is a colon-separated list of directories, much
  like PATH. When configured as a native compiler, GCC tries the
  directories thus specified when searching for special linker files, if
  it can't find them using GCC_EXEC_PREFIX. Linking using GCC also uses
  these directories when searching for ordinary libraries for the -l
  option (but directories specified with -L come first).

Good to hear.  Let us know if anything else goes wrong.
