Hello everybody,
First of all, thanks in advance to people contributing and helping out others. I am new to this list, to scheme, and even to MacOS so apologize my ignorance. Although, I am a old timer Unix C programmer so we should meet somewhere. I choose gambit to learn scheme because I am from Montreal and because I am interested into BIT and PICOBIT.
Unfortunately, apart from saying hello, I come to this mailing list for help. I followed instructions off the website
$ wget http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.3/source/gambc-v4_3_2... $ tar zxf gambc-v4_3_2-devel.tgz $ cd gambc-v4_3_2-devel $ ./configure --enable-single-host $ make bootstrap and then boom! $ ./bin/gsi-script Segmentation fault: 11 Moreover:

Dear Richard,
Welcome to the ML side of the Gambit community!
While the way you compiled Gambit below is really interesting, the ordinary way I and I believe others are used with, is:
$ wget http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.3/source/gambc-v4_3_2... $ tar zxf gambc-v4_3_2-devel.tgz $ cd gambc-v4_3_2-devel $ ./configure --enable-single-host $ make
Gambit is now in ./gsc/gsc and ./gsi/gsi , ready to be used. And you may install it into the system:
# make install
and then suitably link gsc to the Gambit binary, sth like:
# ln -s /usr/bin/gsc /usr/local/Gambit-C/v4.6.0/bin/gsc
Was this of help?

Ah, and a last sidenote right now would be that you chose to download an old version of Gambit. It will spin perfectly but why not go with the latest one, it.s 4.6.something.

It would help greatly if you gave information on the C compiler that you are using. Is it clang or gcc? Which version? Some versions of clang and gcc contain bugs which cause them to generate incorrect machine code when compiling Gambit. Some versions of these C compilers generate correct code, but take a lot of RAM memory and compilation time to compile Gambit. So it is good to choose the C compiler well.
I tend to use gcc to develop and build Gambit. This thread explains more: https://mercure.iro.umontreal.ca/pipermail/gambit-list/2012-May/005946.html

The compiler I am using is i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 which come with Xcode.
Updating to git version of gambit, configure tells me what am I doing wrong.
Ok! I will have to compile a compiler…. (again)
Best Regards
Richard
PS: Sorry for the late reply, I do have a day job and a family at night. So I "play" in the very early morning.

Here's a script that I use to compile various versions of gcc on Mac OS X.

Everybody,
Just to follow up on this. llvm (clang) was the issue.
Thanks
