Hi!
I am integrating Scheme with my other tool-chain and I need to make some changes to it to make it consistent.
1. I observed that Gambit starts with some colouring (bold while on blue background) and the text we type is also bold in colour. I want to disable all test colouring so that everything appears simple regular test.
2. I want to prompt to change from ">" to " * ".
3. Insead of the Gambit v4_5.3 message, I would prefer it just says "Scheme".
I downloaded the gambc-v4_5_3-devel.tgz file and I was trying to go through the source code but I could not figure out where these formatting were define. Can someone tell me how I can make the above changes or at the very least, where in source code can I do the modifications?
Thanks in advance,
Nikhil

Hi!
Last versions of Gambit are stable.
follow next instructions (for Linux):
get source code here: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.5/source/gambc-v4_5_3...
unpack it: tar -xzf gambc-v4_5_3.tgz
configure it:
if you have fast computer with lots of memory (i need more than 6 Gig on my 64 bit desktop to compile gambit with this options):
./configure --enable-gcc-opts --enable-single-host
otherwise:
./configure --enable-gcc-opts
make all sources:
make
and install:
sudo make install
and you'll get two main programs installed: gsi and gsc. gsi - interpreter and gsc is compiler scheme-to-c and c-to-obj via gcc.
Use gsi to learn basic features of scheme.
I may recommend next books to read:

Hi,
I am new to Gambit as well as new to Scheme programming. I would like to download and use a Stable version of scheme. Also, I want to compile from source rather than use the binary distribution.
Can someone tell me which file I need to download? I see bunch of files in the site. Which version is the stable version? And further whats the difference between gambc-v#_#_#-devel.tgz & gambc-v#_#_#.tgz and which one should I download?
Thanks,
Nikhil
