Is this related to this FAQ entry?

    Building guile-1.4 gives a previous declaration of inet_aton error?

    This is a known buglet in guile-1.4. The workaround is to comment
    out the offending line (libguile/net_db.c, line 85) and restart
    the build.

Add this to your .guile file:

    (use-modules (ice-9 readline))
    (activate-readline)
