Hmm... it looks like you aren't finding the plug-ins (which go into
PREFIX/lib/guppi/plug-ins/VERSION_NUMBER), and all hell is
subsequently breaking loose.

When you run guppi, you should see something like this:
% here/bin/guppi 
guppi-Message: Booting Guile
libguppiuseful-Message: Initializing CORBA
libguppiuseful-Message: Initializing libglade
libguppiuseful-Message: Initializing Utility Library

If you didn't get those "Loaded plug-in" lines, or got errors at this
point, this is the problem.

If you *are* loading the plug-ins properly, the only other thing I can
think of is that you have a shared lib from an old version laying
around in /usr/local/lib or somewhere like that.

Try doing
% ldd here/bin/guppi | fgrep guppi
and confirm that the guppi-related shared libs that are being used are
the ones you just built.
