Well... the source code to GUIDE (Gambit Universal IDE) is
distributed with Gambit. The code works but I haven't had the time
to automate the build process (i.e. the makefile is broken). If your
student, or some makefile expert would like to help out that would be
great.
Of course, there is always the emacs interface, which is the
development environment I use most (it support single stepping,
source code pinpointing when there is an error, etc). Surely you can
force your student to use emacs!
