Hi!
Last versions of Gambit are stable.
follow next instructions (for Linux):
get source code here:
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/download/gambit/v4.5/source/gambc-v4_5_3.tgz
unpack it:
tar -xzf gambc-v4_5_3.tgz
configure it:
if you have fast computer with lots of memory (i need more than 6 Gig on
my 64 bit desktop to compile gambit with this options):
./configure --enable-gcc-opts --enable-single-host
otherwise:
./configure --enable-gcc-opts
make all sources:
make
and install:
sudo make install
and you'll get two main programs installed: gsi and gsc.
gsi - interpreter and gsc is compiler scheme-to-c and c-to-obj via gcc.
Use gsi to learn basic features of scheme.
I may recommend next books to read:
1. SICP
http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/full-text/book/book.html
2. Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming
www.ulb.ac.be/di/rwuyts/INFO020_2003/vanRoyHaridi2003-book.pdf
3 Concrete Abstractions

4. How to design programs
