To install a package with rpm in an alternate directory, if the rpm was not built for relocation, you use --relocate and --badreloc (the former tells rpm where to put the files, the latter tells it to disregard whether the package supports relocation or not). e.g. rpm -ivh --relocate /usr/share/guile=/opt/g-wrap/1.2.1 --badreloc <name of g-wrap rpm>.rpm I've used this successfully on other applications (meaning the app worked even though it wasn't where the builder expected it to go). It may not work here, but there's no harm in trying. You can always remove the rpm if it fails. I'd be interested to hear if it works.
