I have found the equivalent on Fedora:
$ yum install compat-guile18 compat-guile18-devel

However, I still get the same errors.

I see.
If I build lilypond with both compat-guile18-devel (1.8.8) and
guile-devel (2.0.9) installed, configure is fine and the build process
works but I get the errors when I use lilypond.
If I remove guile-devel (2.0.9) and keep only compat-guile18-devel
(1.8.8), configure complains:
ERROR: Please install required programs:  echo no guile-config >=
1.8.2 (installed: )

I do not understand what to do. How did you say that the lilypond that
comes with F19 has to use guile 1.8?
