Curious, my current version of guile (rpm 1.3-2) provides libguile.so.4, but
I also have .so.2 (I guess from a previous tarball install), so somebody
made an RPM aginst an old version of guile.  The different number means the
interface has changed, but you still may be able to get away with
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libguile.so.4 libguile.so.2
and continue the install from there.
