lilypond wants libguile.so.9, but you have guile-1.3.4 installed,
which corresponds with libguile.so.6.

So, most probably, there are two guiles on your machine.  Find
libguile.so.9 (from guile-1.4, or reinstall guile-1.4); and set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the directory where it lives, eg:

    $ locate libguile.so.9
    /usr/local/lib/libguile.so.9
    /usr/local/lib/libguile.so.9.0.0
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
