Where was guile installed?   GNU stuff usually wants to go into
/usr/local/*, but Red Hat tends to put stuff into /usr/*.
Consequently, smetimes packages seem to be missing when they are
simply living in the other location.  When this happens, I typically
make a symlink from one directory to the other.

Of course, this may not have been your problem. . . .
