The error message you reproduced above should contain a filename.
Could you check if there is any filename printed?

The reason for the error message is that some program (e.g. either
Guile or one of the add-on packages) tries to load a dynamic library
and cannot find it.  If you find out which library cannot be found
(you may want to use strace to find out), you have to make sure that
the library is either installed in some standard directory (/usr/lib,
/usr/local/lib) or that the directory it is installed in is in your
LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
