It sounds like you don't have the appropriate development packages
installed for guile.

On Ubuntu / Debian, try guile-1.6

dpkg-query -S /usr/bin/guile-1.6-config 
guile-1.6: /usr/bin/guile-1.6-config

There is a symlink /usr/bin/guile-config on my box, which points
to /etc/alternatives/guile-config, which is in turn a sym-link
to /usr/bin/guile-1.6-config

This will likely be different on non Debian based systems. Try
re-installing guile, and for good measure, guile-dev (or guile-1.6 and
guile-1.6-dev).
