I didn't follow the directions exactly, but I got the following to work:

1. hg get http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/repo/gambit/ 2. copy gsc-comp from your 4.0.1 tarball to the gambit directory, I think you have to do a make bootstrap to create it. 3. make bootstrap in your repository directory

There may be other files it requires, just copy them from the gambit tarball.

Unfortunately, I only know cvs, svn, darcs, but not >mercurial, so excuse my dumb question. Everthing (starting >with the 4.0.1 tar ball ... ; cd gambit; ./configure; make >bootstrap) worked till this step:

hg pull

abort: index 00changelog.i invalid format 2! gambit [ERROR: 255] >
