Some more on your issue:
I can't reproduce on my boxes, but I am running with gentoo and Gambit
compiled from master sources.

Are you running with gambit master sources? The "~~lib/gambit#.scm"
include should be resolved by gsc.

According to the gambit documentation:
A path which starts with the characters ‘~~’ denotes a file in an
installation directory. If nothing follows the ‘~~’ then the directory
denoted is the central installation directory. Otherwise what follows
the ‘~~’ is the name of the installation directory, for example
‘~~lib’ denotes the ‘lib’ installation directory.

What version of Gambit are you using?
Is it a distribution package installation on ubuntu?
Can you try the latest Gambit development sources from master on github?
I recommend configuring with a prefix like --prefix=/usr/local/gambit
I also recommend the  --enable-multiple-versions configuration option.
You should also --enable-openssl version if you want to use https with
the :std/net/request library.

PS: if there is more interest and the github facilities prove
inadequate I will set up a mailing list.
