Two remarks:

  1. Guile doesn’t use MPFR so you can safely omit ‘--with-mpfr’. ;-)

  2. Guile 1.8’s ‘configure’ doesn’t have a ‘--with-gmp’ flag, which
     means you have to do things by hand.  In your case, that means
     doing:

       $ LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/gmp/lib" \
         CPPFLAGS="-I/path/to/gmp/include" \
         ./configure ...

Plus the caveat Andy mentioned.

Hope this helps,
Ludo’.
