Guile needs the whole slib, not just require.scm.  Thus, your symlink 
intuition is correct, you just need to create it differently.  Go into 
/usr/local/share/guile and create a symbolib link called slib to the 
/usr/share/umb-scheme/slib directory.  I do not claim to understand the 
inner workings of guile, but I know this is what my system requires.  You 
may also need to set your SCHEME_LIBRARY_PATH.  On my system the RPM adds a 
script to /etc/profile.d to do this for you.
