Guile does require slib. I think they're planning to remove that
dependency one of these days, but right now it's needed for some core
bits still (AFAIK).

For Debian at least, check the Depends line -- slib is required...

Description: Scheme interpreter, and shared libraries for guile.
Guile, the GNU Ubiquitous Intelligent Extension Language, is a scheme
implementation designed for real world programming, supporting a
rich Unix interface, a module system, and undergoing rapid development.
.
`guile' is a scheme interpreter that can execute scheme scripts (with a
#! line at the top of the file), or run as an inferior scheme
process inside Emacs.
