I upgraded to 4.6 on Linux and it works fine now. Thanks for your help!

The command:

worked on Windows with MingW. Previously I was trying with Cygwin.
I am still struggling on Linux. What is the command line switch that will print the help for the compiler? I tried -h and --help and gsc won't accept them.

Hi,
I am trying to generate an executable from a Scheme file:
;; hello.ss
(display "hello world") (newline)
On Ubuntu Linux (11.4, 32bit) with Gambit v4.2, I tried the following command:
$ gsc -o hello -exe hello.ss
It failed with a warning "misplaced option -exe".
4.2 = too old, upgrade.
On Windows 7 (64bit) with Gambit v4.6.1, I get the following error:
$ gsc -o hello.exe -exe hello.ss
Access is denied. Access is denied. Access is denied. *** ERROR IN ##for-each -- No such file or directory (delete-file "C:\Users\VMathew\Desktop\hello.o")
Uh. Check what C compiler Gambit is set up to use, if you're using Mingw Gambit it might be wanting to use MSVC? Furthermore, ensure you have the appropriate filesystem privileges, maybe run Gambit (so, cmd) as administrator and try out. When you got it working, let the ML know how you solved it.
On both machines the gcc compiler is installed and is working properly. I am following the directions at http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/doc/gambit-c.html#GSC
What could be going wrong?
Thanks,
