The new directory structure, which is explained on the first page of
the Gambit manual, has been in use for several betas. If you are
installing version VERSION with a prefix of PREFIX, the following
directories are created to store the executable files, libraries, etc:
PREFIX/VERSION <- contains bin/, lib/, include/, etc
PREFIX/current <- symbolic link to PREFIX/VERSION
This organization allows multiple versions of Gambit to coexist in
the PREFIX directory. By putting "PREFIX/current/bin" in your PATH,
you will automatically have access to the latest version of Gambit
installed. You don't have to change your PATH when a new version is
installed. But if you wish to execute a specific version of Gambit,
you can specify that in the path, i.e. PREFIX/4.0b20/bin/gsi .
