FWIW, gambit is very easy to install, with or without termite; I
./configure; install-ed the latest 4.0 beta and it appears to work just
fine (on i386).
If you are just learning, though, I don't really see the benefit of
Gambit; sure, it's fast, and sure, Termite is cool (if not necessarily
useful), but Chicken works for most purposes and is in ports. And it has
a lot more bindings to libraries available (slib and snow are
interesting, but implementation-agnostic and thus don't contain FFI
stuff, which is a lot of what you need for web-app-ish things, for
instance).
