Debian source and binary packages for 11 platforms are now available in the Testing and Unstable distributions. The m68k architecture is still building - gambc should reach the head of the queue in another week.
These packages have been built with the --use-single-host configure option.
The Alioth file download is discontinued. Please use apt-get to access these packages in the Debian repositories:
apt-get install gambc
The Gambit-C manual is available using the info system, doc-base, or by accessing the pdf at /usr/share/doc/gambc-doc. It is installed separately:
apt-get install gambc-doc
Problems with the packaging should be reported to the Debian bug tracker.
Problems with Gambit-C should be reported to the Gambit tracker, though they will be forwarded if received in Debian.

Great job! Thanks a lot for doing this.
Now somebody could include Gambit-C to the shootout for more benchmarking fun: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/
Having a Debian package will help bring more users to Gambit. Now, all that is still missing is a package/module system... Hopefully we'll have it real soon now :)

Yeah, Gambit is a cool piece of software!
I made some changes in the file layout to align with Debian policy:
Gambit is installed in /usr/bin and /usr/lib. There is a /usr/lib/gambc4.0 directory which holds the Gambit library files (except for the shared library, which is in /usr/lib).
To do this, I had to patch gsc/_gsc.scm link-incremental so it could find /usr/lib/gambc4.0. It would be nice if this could be parameterized in the build somehow.
I took the liberty of introducing a soname: libgambc.so.4
The link chain in /usr/lib is now
/usr/lib/libgambc.so -> /usr/lib/libgambc.so.4 -> /usr/lib/libgambc.so.4.0.0 [the actual shared lib]
The shared lib package is libgambc4 (and libgambc4-dev)
The library binary packages are pulled in when the gambc binary is installed. However, if someone builds an app which uses libgambc4, they can distribute it without the gambc package; it only needs libgambc4.
If Gambit isn't going to maintain backwards API compatibility for all of version 4, let me know and I'll start using something like libgambc41 when backwards compatibility is broken.
