So now I tried to install the guile rpm found on the lilypond page with

rpm -i guile-1.4.1.i386 --force

but it gives me:

ERROR: Could not find slib/require.scm in
("/usr/share/guile/site" "/usr/share/guile/1.4" "/usr/share/guile/" ".")
execution of script failed

I run a fresh Red Hat 6.2. What else do I need??
