I use fedora 7 which does not have gwave. The package manager did not list guile-1.6 so I downloaded guile-1.6.8 and tried to install it using the same method you suggested for gwave. I got the following results after trying ./configure:
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no checking for cc... no checking for cl... no configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details.
