Thanks for taking a look at it. I'll see if I can help:

Yes, that's a mistake on my part. I've pushed the necessary change the
configure.ac.

This one has me a bit confused; I compiled it all right with
GUILE_LOAD_PATH unset. Can you send me the output from running make?

It looks like xcb/event-loop.scm needs to come after xcb/xml/xproto.scm
in Makefile.am. That should fix the problem loading (xcb xml
xproto). There isn't actually any xproto.scm; building the package
generates a .go file directly from xproto.xml.

Thanks,
