Spelling errors are ok, .so files should go to devel, main package should contain just the versioned libs. 
Dangling symlink - /usr/share/guile/1.8/slib points to /usr/share/slib - which is not owned by guile and doesn't exist if slib package doesn't exist. This symlink is ghosted and triggers do create it, so it probably could be removed.

= MATCHES
+ MUST: The package successfully compiles and builds into binary rpms on at
least one primary architecture
 - tested on i686, no problems
0 MUST: If the package does not successfully compile, build or work on an
architecture, then those architectures should be listed in the spec in
ExcludeArch
+ MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any
that are listed in the exceptions section of the Packaging Guidelines
0 MUST: The spec file handles locales properly. This is done by using the
%find_lang macro
+ MUST: Every binary RPM package (or subpackage) which stores shared library
files (not just symlinks) in any of the dynamic linker's default paths, must
call ldconfig in %post and %postun.
0 MUST: Packages must NOT bundle copies of system libraries
0 MUST: If the package is designed to be relocatable, the packager must state
this fact in the request for review, along with the rationalization for
relocation of that specific package. Without this, use of Prefix: /usr is
considered a blocker
+ MUST: Package must own all directories that it creates. If it does not create
a directory that it uses, then it should require a package which does create
that directory
+ MUST: Package must not list a file more than once in the spec file's %files
listings
+ MUST: Permissions on files must be set properly. Every %files section must
include a %defattr(...) line.
+ MUST: Each package must have a %clean section, which contains rm -rf
%{buildroot} (or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT).
+ MUST: Each package must consistently use macros
+ MUST: The package must contain code, or permissable content
0 MUST: Large documentation files must go in a -doc subpackage
+ MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the runtime
of the application
+ MUST: Header files must be in a -devel package
0 MUST: Static libraries must be in a -static package
+ MUST: Packages containing pkgconfig(.pc) files must 'Requires: pkgconfig'
- MUST: If a package contains library files with a suffix (e.g. libfoo.so.1.1),
then library files that end in .so (without suffix) must go in a -devel package

Please fix that...

+ MUST: devel packages must require the base package using a fully versioned
dependency: Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}
+ MUST: Packages must NOT contain any .la libtool archives, these must be
removed in the spec if they are built
0 MUST: Packages containing GUI applications must include a %{name}.desktop
file, and that file must be properly installed with desktop-file-install in the
%install section
+ MUST: Packages must not own files or directories already owned by other
packages
+ MUST: At the beginning of %install, each package MUST run rm -rf %{buildroot}
(or $RPM_BUILD_ROOT)
+ MUST: All filenames in rpm packages must be valid UTF-8

MUST:
1) .so files without suffix must go in devel subpackage
2) check licensing
SHOULD:
3) dangling symlink ...  as the directory %{_datadir}/guile/%{mver}/slib is ghosted and trigger in on slib is used, maybe is that dangling symlink in %install section redundant now and rpmlint could be silenced

Thanks for the review.

I'll fix the License tag in the next commit.

The .so files are actually modules used by guile, moving them to -devel package would break guile.

The ghosts for slibcat and slib symlink were used to ensure that the files will be correctly removed when guile is upgraded to another major version (the location will change). They are created only when slib is installed, so it should always point to an existing directory.

Ok, fine, thanks for explanation ...

License tag should be fixed in guile-1.8.7-6.fc14.

Ok, worksforme, thanks ... approved. CLosing RAWHIDE.
