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 Ludo’.
