This is due to some odd interaction between guil-1.2 and slib..
try this:
append the following two lines to lthe r4rs.scm file in the guile-1.2 dir:
(define (identity x) x)
(define home-vicinity (let ((home-path (getenv "HOME")))(lambda () home-path)))

make distclean; ./configure; make in the gnome-guile dir.
That "worked for me".
