OK, -lguile *should* contain these symbols.

Could you:

1) try the command "guile-config link".  You should get output
something like:

-L/usr/lib -lguile -lqthreads -dl -lm

There may be multiple -L arguments, and also the libraries other than 
-lguile may be different.

2) Verify that libguile.so, libguile.so.6, and libguile.so.6.0.0 are
present in one of the directories indicated by a -L argument (ie 
make sure it's present in /usr/lib if your guile config returns the
above)

3) Once you have located libguile.so, cd to that directory and run
   "nm -D libguile.so.6.0.0".  This lists all symbols present in this
   library.  Check to see whether scm_async_clock, scm_makdbl, and 
   scm_newsmob are present.

If all of the above works as expected, could you please run the following
command"

./configure <any arguments you used> 2>&1 > config.run

and then send me config.run?
