Yep, I downloaded and installed 4.6 (you can create a one-off ubuntu package of it by using checkinstall) in its stead. The -exe option is working now.

omit the -exe and just type "gsc hello.ss", it compiles to an object file, as expected. So I don't think that Ubuntu's Gambit installation is bad...
Any ideas on what's going on would be greatly appreciated.
The -exe option came out in Gambit v4.5.0 (released August 2009). The version you are using, Gambit v4.2.8, came out in May 2008. You need to upgrade!
