This is a problem with the current unstable Debian guile pacakge being
out of sync with libc6 (or similar). I solved it temporarily by just
building a new guile package. To do that (it's easy), see below, but
before you do that, could you file a bug report with the Bug Tracking
System <http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting>? I didn't get around to
it.
To build a fixed guile pacakge, make sure you have fakeroot and
dpkg-dev installed, and then get the source packages from
ftp.debian.org. You want to get these three files:
/pub/debian/dists/main/source/interpreters/guile-core_*
Now, from your normal account:
$ dpkg-source -x guile-core_1.3-12.dsc
then
$ cd guile-core-1.3
and finally
$ fakeroot debian/rules binary
If all goes well, this will build a new .deb file in ../, and you can
install it using dpkg like this (you have to be root or use sudo):
# dpkg -i ../guile-core_1.3-12_i386.deb
(or whatever the name is).
Then your problem should be fixed.
The only potential snag I can see is that if you don't normally have
development packages installed on your machine (primarily the common
lib*-dev packages), then you may not have the libraries and headers
you need to build guile...
Let me know if you need any more help.
