... On the other hand, if you run the generic Snow configure script like this:
% ./configure --install-hosts=yes
then Gambit 4.0 beta 21 and some other Scheme systems will be installed automatically if you don't have them installed currently. The distributions for these Scheme systems are actually Snow packages (i.e. "host-gambit", "host-chicken", etc). You could download the snowball for host-gambit/v4.0.21 and install that manually (it is a .tar.gz file).
Sweet! - so I was missing something major...
Many thanks,
