I think you need to start from scratch and tell us exactly what you
have done to unpack and build the Guile tarball.  My impression (from
this and other emails) is that you've done something unusual.  Are you
familiar with the usual "tar zxf ..., ./configure, make, make install"
procedure, and is that what you have done?  Please post a complete
transcript, starting from unpacking the tarball.
