Well, I found other items on gmane's archive of this mailing list. IT looks as if the answer is that Gambit itself doesn't provide modules at all, despite the mention in the Tour of Scheme in Gambit. But it seems that there exists a completely separate module facility that can be used with it. With its own installation instructions. And by the way, one should use (import ...) instead of (use ...)
Hi Hendrik,
The module system is Blackhole. Yes, it is separate from Gambit. I volunteered to fix the documentation for Mikael about the use / import confusion, but then didn't – apologies. I also volunteered to write a usage guide for Blackhole for Per (the maintainer) based on some very useful emails he sent me, but I didn't do that either, sorry.
I've just downloaded Openoffice to have a go at fixing the guide. I'll forward the emails from Per on to you as I think you'll find them helpful.
Thanks, Benjohn
