Yeah, around guile 3.0.7, it stopped using libltdl which
would do that version number searching for you. Now,
all packages that make binary extensions need to be fixed
to make version-less binary extensions. That's something
guile-ncurses needs to fix for itself.

For guile-ncurses configure, if you add the option
--with-gnu-filesystem-hierarchy, it will try to be more strict
on where it installs, so that might help.
Note that you'll probably need to
set GUILE_LOAD_PATH to point to the code
and GUILE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS_PATH to point to the libguile-ncurses.so.
