After giving the ./configure command, it runs and eventurally runs into the following message:
checking whether guile works...no
configure: warning: Can not find Guile on this system
checking for guile... /usr/bin/guile
checking for guile-1.3.4 <= version ,99.99.99...no
configure: warning; guile version check failed
configure: error:

guile does not appear to be installed correctly, or is not in the correct version range. Perhaps you have not installed the guile development packages? Right now gnucash requires at least version 1.3.4 to build.

I gave the locate guile command and it does list /usr/bin/guile as a directory, it also list lots of instances of guile in /usr/lib/ and usr/share/. I checked my version of guile and it is 1.6.0-4:5.

Any ideas on how to get it to look to recognize guile?

Try using ./configure --help to see if you can specify where guile is.

Thanks. I checked out the help file. The closest options to point to directories

--with-gnome-includes Specifiy locaton of GNOME headers
--with-gnome-libs Specify location of GNOME libs
--with-gnome Specify prefix for GNOME files
--with-locale-dir=PATH Specify where to look for locale-specific information
--with-ofx-prefix=DIR specify where to look for lib0fx

Nothing appears to allow you to specify a directory for guile. Are any of the above the correct one to specify? If so, which path to guile should I give?
