I think you have the wrong version of some GL library.. i mean that library
is present (or you'd have a missing header error) but you have an old
version and you miss some needed function (glGetProgramiv, glGetShaderiv,
glGetShaderInfoLog)

I'm no scons expert but i've noticed that it often miss the version check

have you specified the --prefix=/usr when configuring? I found that it is an
important thing to do in ubuntu..
compile again guile with 
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

I don't know why but I was told that this is a very bad idea
