In general, when you install something from a source tarball this is installed
in non standard path. So, to use guile you should add the path where this is
installed. At your file ".profile" (in your user directory) you could add:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
To use the headers, you will need make a symbolic link at /usr/include.
Something like:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/guile/ /usr/include/
Hope this help.
