I can answer my own question.

The need for guile-1.4 is not true. On another RH linux box (version
7.1), I only needed to install guile-devel-1.3.4-12 . I did have to
install noweb and all of its dependencies (libiconv and liconv). I
used the ximian i386 rpms on http://rpmfind.net/ .

For geda, I grabbed the latest out of CVS. Ales, it was clear to me
when the top level make failed, but you may wish to add a README or a
script that will recurse through the trees and automake and autoconf
everything. It's not obvious to new CVS users that automake and
autoconf have to be run first.

gschem fires up, and I'm happy again :).
