The simple way I've seen (which is probably not totally right) is to
make a symlink from the right place in /usr/share/guile to the .so
file in /usr/lib (or whatever, depending on the prefix).

However, recent versions of the guile-gtk package have a better way of
handling dynamic linking which may be worth copying.
