The first thing to check is that you have guile-devel installed as well.
If you have that, have a look at the config.log file - near the bottom
of that file you'll see the actual compile that configure uses to do its
check, and the real error should be visible there.

Note that you will also need the -devel packages for a number of other
dependencies.
