The `ice-9/*.scm' files normally go to `$(pkgdatadir)/1.8/ice-9',
i.e., `${prefix}/share/guile/1.8/ice-9'.

Apparently something went wrong here: it looks as though `pkgdatadir'=/.
Did you pass a `DESTDIR' variable to `make' when running "make install"?

If not, please look for the value `datarootdir' and `pkgdatadir' in
`config.log' and make sure they correspond to what you want.

Hope this helps,
Ludovic.
