No, I thought of that, there is no g-wrap-devel package. And if there were, 
and it wasn't installed, the header file would be missing (if I understand 
correctly the function of the -devel packages), but it's not.

Ah, that's the clue I needed. In the log file, I see:

configure:26190: checking g-wrap-wct.h usability
configure:26202: gcc -c -g -O2   -std=gnu99   conftest.c >&5
In file included from /usr/include/multiarch-dispatch.h:23,

                 from /usr/include/g-wrap/guile-wct.h:23,
                 from /usr/include/g-wrap-wct.h:3,
                 from conftest.c:106:

So it's actually /usr/include/ffi.h that's missing, and the configure message 
is wrong. That's part of the package libffi4-devel, which wasn't installed.

Thanks Derek.
