This is a shot in the dark, but do you have the 'libreadline-dev'
package installed? Remember that when building packages from source
that require a library, you generally need the '-dev' package of that
library.
More generally, I'd recommend 'apt-get build-dep guile-2.0', which will
install all the build-dependencies for the guile-2.0 package that's
already in Ubuntu 12.10.
