Installing gambitc according to the instructions gives the error

 Unbound variable: compile-file

when you try to compile from within emacs.  The same error is seen when
running gsi from the command line.

The solution is to use gsc instead.  So the emacs config should look like:

 (add-to-list 'load-path "...")
 (autoload 'gambit-inferior-mode "gambit" "Hook Gambit mode into cmuscheme.")
 (autoload 'gambit-mode "gambit" "Hook Gambit mode into scheme.")
 (add-hook 'inferior-scheme-mode-hook (function gambit-inferior-mode))
 (add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook (function gambit-mode))
 (setq scheme-program-name "gsc -:d-")

Note that the last line differs from the "gsi" given in the docs.

Also, you need to start the scheme running (menu option Sheme -> Run
Inferior ...) before compiling.
