Guppi is no longer maintained and Guppi-0.40.3 has been the last 
release. I don't remember having problems compiling this version of 
Guppi, but I cannot do it anymore because necessary libraries are not 
more available in my system.

A solution to your problem might be to replace
guppi_seq_boolean_new ();
by:
guppi_type_new (GUPPI_TYPE_SEQ_BOOLEAN);
