I would like to understand what went wrong.  Previously you said that you built Gambit in a conventional way:

However, you later said that gsi was in /usr/bin/gsi .  This is very strange because building Gambit conventionally will install gsi in /usr/local/Gambit-C/bin/gsi , so how come it ended up in /usr/bin/gsi?  And why did it not run properly?  I know you fixed your problem, but it would be worthwhile spending some time to understand what the problem is so that I can fix the makefiles if they are at fault, for the benefit of others.

Normally I download it to ~/Desktop, move it to /usr/src and build from there.  Is there a better way to accomplish that.  I would be willing to run it again.  Probably be a good idea to start from a clean slate, too.
