how to run gambit-c

It's late and I should go to bed and maybe that's why I can't figure this out. I'm on a fedora-13 machine and I just ran

yum install gambit-c

I installed i开发者_StackOverflow中文版t because I want to follow along in a schemed text book.

but now that it's installed, how do I start the scheme interpreter??

It looks from the RPM listing that the binaries are named gsi, gsix, and gsc, all in /usr/bin. I suspect that gsi is the interpreter.

For more details, there's also the manual entry for gsi.

BTW: I don't know about the Fedora RPM, but I found that the Ubuntu repository's Gambit-C was quite outdated (4.0-ish), with missing features like simple compilation of stand-alone executables. The most recent version is 4.6. If your RPM's version is a few decimal places behind, I'd suggest just installing from source; it's a pretty standard configure -> make -> make install sequence. Just remember the following option when running configure:

./configure --enable-single-host

This speeds things up quite a bit.
