Oh, I didn't get Cyril's messages on the bug... But this is the 
information:

PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are empty. PATH has this value:

/home/anonimo/.guix-profile/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

Additional info:

$ guix package --search-paths
export PATH="/home/anonimo/.guix-profile/bin"
