There is a very minor problem with 4.0 beta 20 that prevents it from
compiling packages, but you can still use it to run Snow packages
interpreted. On the other hand, if you run the generic Snow
configure script like this:
% ./configure --install-hosts=yes
then Gambit 4.0 beta 21 and some other Scheme systems will be
installed automatically if you don't have them installed currently.
The distributions for these Scheme systems are actually Snow packages
(i.e. "host-gambit", "host-chicken", etc). You could download the
snowball for host-gambit/v4.0.21 and install that manually (it is
a .tar.gz file).
I am currently working on an improved generic Snow implementation
that will integrate much better with Gambit (and other Scheme
systems). The underlying module system will be used (the ##namespace
form in the case of Gambit).
The goal is for Snow's repository to become the repository for Scheme
packages in general, whether they are portable to several Scheme
systems or specific to one system or a few systems.
