Yes, it's NOT in SuSE 6.3 or 6.4.

This is the guile I use, and it works.

The gnucash rpm and the g-wrap rpm have a dependency to
libguile.so.4 because this one comes with Red Hat. You can
install with rpm --no-deps and make a ln -s libguile.so.6 libguile.so.4,
but I recommend compiling from source.

It goes to /usr/local by default, but the ./configure should
follow --prefix.

README.SuSE has been moved to doc/SuSE.txt
