No problem.

I'm using it with guix, for example I can do:

$ guix shell guile guile-gi
$ guile
scheme@(guile-user)> (use-modules (gi))

Could it be that you've installed the guile-gi package with guix, but
it's using a system guile version which isn't set up to look for modules
in the path that guix is putting them in? I'm relatively new to guix so
if the above doesn't work, it's prehaps best asking over with the guix
folks since I'm relatively new to guix too.
