Trick for using guile, even when you don't know where it's installed.

[Rob Browning]

If you want to use a guile script for something, but you want it to be
portable to any system where guile's in the user's path, I've found
this particular trick fairly useful.  It only relies on the existence
of #!/bin/sh, and guile *somewhere* in the user's path.

  #!/bin/sh
  exec guile -s "$0"
  !#
  (display "Hello\n")

You can also do other things before launching guile:

  #!/bin/sh
  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/some/stuff/you/need:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
  export GUILE_LOAD_PATH="/some/other/stuff/you/need:${GUILE_LOAD_PATH}"
  exec guile -s "$0"
  !#
  (do-whatever)
  (do-whatever-else)
  (etc)

Hope this helps.
