Debuggers? We don't need no debuggers.
Show him how to develop incrementally with tests then he won't have to spend so much time in a debugger.
It's not as easy as all that. These are programs that explore experimentally various corners of mathematics; it could be that our mathematical assumptions are wrong, but the programs work as they should.

Well... the source code to GUIDE (Gambit Universal IDE) is distributed with Gambit. The code works but I haven't had the time to automate the build process (i.e. the makefile is broken). If your student, or some makefile expert would like to help out that would be great.
Of course, there is always the emacs interface, which is the development environment I use most (it support single stepping, source code pinpointing when there is an error, etc). Surely you can force your student to use emacs!
