I'm trying to get guile-gnome working with the Guile installed on my machine. I've downloaded and built guile-gnome according to the instructions here, but no matter what prefix I give to it, I can never seem to get one of the sample GUI programs to execute. What prefix should I install with? For the record, my current %load-path from the Guile toplevel is
$1 = ("/usr/share/guile/2.0" "/usr/share/guile/site/2.0" "/usr/share/guile/site" "/usr/share/guile")
Edit: I am on Manjaro GNU/Linux, using Guile 2.0.11, and the error message I get from the first sample program listed in the link I posted is :
;;; note: auto-compilation is enabled, set GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0
;;; or pass the --no-auto-compile argument to disable.
;;; compiling /home/koz/Documents/Programming/hello.scm
;;; WARNING: compilation of /home/koz/Documents/Programming/hello.scm failed:

Okay, I finally got it working on my Ubuntu 14.04 system. I used --prefix=/usr/local so here's the Guile command I had to use:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/guile-gnome-2 guile -L /usr/local/share/guile-gnome-2
Since (from your comments) it appears you're using --prefix=/usr, you'd probably have to use:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/guile-gnome-2 guile -L /usr/share/guile-gnome-2
