Do like it says. :-)
That is, it noticed that your system has /var/guix/db and that you were
configuring with a different state directory, which is a mistake you’d
rather avoid (see the bits about localstatedir at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Requirements.html>).
So:
./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc -C
