More to the point, you will have seen guile-3.0.2's libguile-3.0.so.1 move to guile-3.0.3's libguile-3.0.so.3 and then move back to guile-3.0.4's libguile-3.0.so.1 guile-3.0.3 was released with an accidental SO version bump: micro versions of guile are supposed to retain and not break ABI/SO-version compatibility. guile-3.0.4 was released shortly thereafter correcting the problem. It looks as if you were unfortunate enough to have installed guile during the hiatus period. The best thing is to install guile-3.0.4 and recompile anything which links to libguile-3.0.so.
