Bash shouldn=E2=80=99t want to load libX11.so.6.  I wonder what prints this
line.  Is your bashrc telling the shell to load extra libraries?  Could
you share the output of =E2=80=9Cenv=E2=80=9D perhaps?

This shouldn=E2=80=99t matter.  Guix will not use things that are on your s=
ystem
unless you force it (e.g. via LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
