In order to check that you (at least) have a proper guile installed first, try 
to run
guile 'on its own', open a terminal and just enter 'guile', or 'guile --version'

But anyway, I suggest you report this to the MIT Photonics bandgap maintainers,
because (a) there is no specific guile version checked at configure time, and 
the
manual states what guile version is expected..., then (b) it is very unlikely 
their
code will run with the latest guile stable verion, 2.2.2 (and prior to the 2.2
series, the latest was 2.0.14, not 2.0.22, for info)

        It seems the project was started 18y ago, the source code even refers
        to guile-1.2 ...
