Hi,

The PKG_CHECK_MODULES autoconf macro is in 'pkg.m4', which is part of
'pkg-config'.  The fact that the bare macro was left in the 'configure'
script indicates that 'pkg.m4' was not available (or could not be found)
when autogen.sh was run.  'pkg.m4' is part of pkg-config, and on many
(most?) GNU-based systems it is found in /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4.
I don't know about CentOS.

If you don't want to deal with these complications, you can just
download the latest tarball release, which already contains a proper
'configure' script.

Incidentally, if you use git, you might be happier with the 'stable-2.0'
branch for now.  The ABI of the 'master' branch is not yet finalized,
and might periodically require rebuilds of both Guile and any other C
libraries that have been built against libguile.

      Mark
