There's two parts.  A scheme lib and a binary lib.

It looks like it can't find the library binary.  That was probably
installed in /usr/local/lib.  When that happens, it usually means
that /usr/local/lib is not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable.

You could try adding /usr/local/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Alternatively, you could look to see where Guile expects to 
find its binary extensions by running

pkg-config guile-2.0 --variable=extensiondir

And the move all the libguile-ncurses.* files there from
/usr/local/lib

But I should probably try to make this install more robust.
