Your g-wrap installation is broken somehow.  Where is the file
g-wrap-guile installed, and what does the line in g-wrap that looks
like the highlighted line below say.  Do they match?

        (case target-language
           ((guile) "/usr/local/stow/g-wrap/libexec/g-wrap-guile") 
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
           ((rscheme) "/usr/local/stow/g-wrap/libexec/g-wrap-rs")
           (else #f))))
    

If they don't match, that's your problem, you need to install g-wrap
correctly.
