I recommend using Guile 1.8 if possible.

You have to install a matching version of libgeda before installing any of the
other gEDA tools.

Did you have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set properly?
There is a known bug with several distributions where LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in
your login script is cleared from your X session by a setuid ssh-agent
wrapper. This makes it impossible to launch a $HOME prefixed gEDA from X
menus. And to make matters worse, terminal emulators are often installed
setuid because utempter requires it.
(BTW: you shouldn't configure and make as root, only install):
./configure && make && sudo make install

My recommendations as to how to set up your environment reliably are here:
http://archives.seul.org/geda/user/Jun-2007/msg00070.html
(instructions are for Fedora, but would probably work on Ubuntu).
I also recommend using the top level Makefile available from the download site
to install gEDA from source, rather than doing it manually.
I hope some of this helps,
Peter
