Thanks so much!!!!!

--with-gnu-filesystem-hierarchy made "make install" install to where i set the --prefix.

I already have:
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH=/home/wise/guile/lib/guile/3.0
GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/home/wise/guile/share/guile/site/3.0

But I'll know to try GUILE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS_PATH if the code doesn't load.

Thanks!
